The shoot of
Geetu Mohandas's film Moothon is over. The director has penned a poignantg note, looking back at her journey with the film. Her father was in his last days when she began the film, and she couldn't concentrate at all, she writes.
"Now that Moothon has finally wrapped up. These past few days have got me reflecting on my journey. It started with submitting the script for the Sundance lab.
I chickened out the last minute because my dad was in his last days and I just couldn’t concentrate. It was Acha who eventually sent it for me. I remember it being a half baked script but it was accepted because my mentor Paul Federbush refused to give up on me. A week later Acha left me and with a heavy heart I went to the lab with Moothon."
She goes on to thank her team, which she describes as a ''dream team'' which includes her husband and cinematographer
Rajeev Ravi.
At the very end, she thanks the lead actor of the film,
Nivin Pauly.
"And finally #Nivin Pauly ... Moothon wouldn’t be what it is if not for you. On behalf of our entire team I want to sum up our association with you ... Salute Sakhave !!!!"
