The Amateur’s Art #65 – Ghost of the Writer

Written and directed by Sarin Kumar.

Director’s Note: Ghost of the Writer is a minimalist psychological drama that explores creative paralysis through a single-character narrative. Set entirely in one room, the film externalises the internal resistance writers face, using stillness, light, and physical struggle as metaphors for the emotional cost of creation. It’s a film about the need to create — despite fear and pain

It’s a visually-driven film with no dialogue that explores the creative struggle of a writer battling conventional storytelling forms, ultimately finding his voice through unconventional means.
