Kinesis

What started as a prank by 5 friends during an office trip has developed into a passion waiting to be put into overdrive.

Five of us use to work together in the same company and team with different roles and responsibilities. Khushpal, Shrey, Vikas and Vijay in the graphics team and me (Asif) in the programming team. We were tied together with a common interest in the entertainment media and specially movies. One day we went for a office trip to Mukteshwar and thought about pulling a prank on everyone. We hired a video camera (Sony PD) and wrote a short script and suring the trip we shot it without anyone realizing it. A lot of the script was shot in the night when everyone was asleep. Later on we edited and presented it to our colleagues and received a good enough response to start thinking about the next project.

Having done the first project we realized specific strengths in the team. Among us we had all the required talent: direction, production, scripting, screenplay, dialogue writing, post processing and acting. We started working on a new script. This time we were more ambitious. Taking out time from regular office hours we developed a good story only to realize later that in order to bring this script to reality we would need a lot of money as a lot of special effects and outdoor shoots were required.

We put our idea on the back burner and started thinking of another script. This time we were focussing on a story which would be mostly indoors and would be economic to produce. Thus began our journey of "...that's life". The story is about 4 friends 2 of which are brothers. They stay together, are fun to be with, there life is good. Then each of them start to pursue their wishes and dreams and that's where things start to take turns and some of them are ugly. The film focuses on how we try to fulfil our dreams and keep having new ones and it is an unending struggle and during this journey we have to make sacrifices which we don't want to but we have to.
