Episode 4 of making a short film from scratch - Shot List and Pre- Production | EP- 04

My friend, Harsh, the sound designer of my upcoming Short film, is an incredibly talented storyteller. One of his standout works is-
Two Packets of Sugar Trust Me -    • Two Packets of Sugar, Trust Me. Short Film  
which was screened at the Roxy Cinemas – the largest movie theatre in the UAE!
