The Amateur’s Art #60 – Labow or: Yet Another Engineering Student’s Short Film (Tamil, with subtitles)

Written and directed by Ramprabhu, who is: “an engineering graduate. You are one of the many reasons I started to love cinema deeply, so much so that I wanted to get my hands dirty and make one. My labour of love – I wanted to share my debut short film with you.”

What made me happiest about this note is the part about wanting to get his hands dirty. So many people want to become filmmakers, but while you wait for the big debut, there is so much you can do / learn with the most basic technology today. Good luck, Ramprabhu.

Director’s note: “A bored engineering student thinks too much, tries a cigarette, and almost falls in love. A film about what happens when thoughts run dry and emotion, uninvited, takes its place.”
