Rohit Gupta.
He was not supposed to do any of this.
Filmmaker, founder, and the person who turned a four-week detour into four films, two national records, and five creative ventures.
An MBA in hand. A career already in the air and still climbing. And four weeks booked at the New York Film Academy, to get this film thing out of his system.
Little did he know. It did the opposite.
A student exercise. Four minutes long, shot in a single seven-hour session. It went to the Short Film Corner at Cannes, and to thirty festivals after that.
Was the first thing that traveled.
Two people. Ten days. Four thousand dollars. Two national records, and the front page of The Indian Express.
Each one came out of a problem he hit himself.
He chose four weeks. Everything else chose him.
