The Making of "Aashray" (short film)- Introduction

The BTS of "Aashray"

What are we trying to achieve?
We wanted to explore 2 simple ideas- 'how would a child would react to fear?' & 'what role does faith play in dealing with fear?'

Our inspiration?
The latest movie 'Nosferatu' inspired us heavily. More than the jump scares, the constant tension in the film, the gloomy mood, the slow and long camera movements without fast cuts. That's what we wanted to achieve. 

Did we achieve that?
Yes! It was hard but we are fairly satisfied with the outcome! Hope you feel the same! 

Is there a message in the film?
Yes. But you will have to watch the film to understand it!

.
Fear kills all hope, until we learn to fight fear. And in faith, we find our strength.
