Four Years Of Movies | Editor's Pen

Hi Friends,

 

We started four years ago when Ali and I were studying in college. What a journey it has been. We have reviewed award winning movies interviewed amateurs and professionals, had special edition and series, huge surveys, film awards and even satire. Pretty good for bunch of people who work even on weekends. Our learning has gone from objective approach to subjective. As a writer, I feel that this growth reflects maturity and sensibility. It has shown some good results on web. We have seen our blogs having good presence in some genres on web. Frankly, it feels good.

 

However, this is a gentle reminder. We are still nowhere close to what we have aimed. There are reasons but no excuses. We need to work hard and prove a point. Our snail pace needs to get on some gear and accelerate. Owing to work pressure of our professional lives, it’s difficult. Let’s be slow and steady… but consistent. Pray for us.

 

I would like to thank our friends, readers, contributors and most importantly our core team members – Neha, Gyan and Rishabh. They have been instrumental in growth of this blog. On that note, I would like to introduce another friend of ours into the core team – Gaurav Karmakar. People who follow TRM, must have a good idea about Gaurav. He is an aspiring actor in body of a Software-wala. I have been fortunate enough to work with him in many short films. Welcome home dude.

 

This edition is a small one in terms of posts but with interview of Ashvin Kumar, I feel that its one of our most defining edition. This interview is not only about short films, this also about independent cinema, censorship and how we want to see our nation. Will it be a conservative - borderline - backward entity or not...

 

Thanks

Sujoy
