My rendezvous with shorts

Dear All,
Six months back if someone would have asked me about short films I would have gone blank because back them I did not have the faintest of idea that these films (which I always associated with documentaries, silly as it may sound now) could be so exciting. But thanks to Cyrus who introduced me to this thrilling world of short films. Never had I imagined that the short film industry in India had gathered so many lovers. As I tread into this genre of films, my perception of them being mere documentaries changed. A short film is now capable of entertaining you as any feature film in a much lesser time. Hats off to people like Cyrus who have given a boost to this cute genre. And its not only me. Thousands of youngsters across India have connected to the shorts, some by making them and others like me by watching them. Even renowned celebs have finally started giving them recognition and are trying to do their bit to give shorts a boost. I would never have had this experience. Thank you Cy for bringing me to the world of good cinema.
Love,
Tulika.
