Brief Overview
This satirical mockumentary critiques governmental apathy and the long-standing issue of potholes in India through humor. It features interviews with a geologist, an artist, a politician, and local residents, presenting multiple perspectives on an everyday yet deeply political problem. We worked as the screenwriters, directors, and editors for the film.
This was made in collaboration with Prachi Sahasrabudhe and Sana Dinesh, guided by Avani Batra.

Concept
The narrative experiments with mixed media including animation, collage and stop motion to extend the storytelling beyond live action footage. These interventions help visualize abstraction, exaggeration, and irony, reinforcing the satirical tone of the film.
The project was conceptualized, written, directed, and edited within a two week production timeline, emphasizing rapid ideation, agile execution, and narrative clarity under tight constraints.
