    Description

    I am an award-winning writer and filmmaker currently developing multiple film projects and expanding my creative team. At present, we are in the pre-production phase of an upcoming feature film, along with several other creative projects in development.
    As part of this journey, I am inviting enthusiastic volunteers to join us for a meaningful cultural and creative exchange centered around filmmaking.

    This opportunity is ideal for individuals who are passionate about cinema, storytelling, and hands-on learning in a real production environment.

    What We are Looking For

    We are seeking dedicated volunteers to support our team in the following areas:

    Storytelling & Screenplay feedback
    Contribute to story development, character arcs, script readings, research, and narrative structuring. Volunteers will participate in creative discussions, brainstorming sessions, and story workshops to strengthen the emotional and thematic depth of the feature film.

    Photography & Videography Team: Although we have hired a professional DOP and his team, but you can help him by joining as trainee assistant.

    Team Building & Creative Coordination
    Assist in fostering collaboration within the crew by supporting group activities, creative discussions, rehearsals, and team coordination. This role focuses on strengthening communication, creative synergy, and a positive working environment during pre-production and on-set work.

    Cultural Exchange & Travel
    Volunteers will have the opportunity to travel within India, particularly during the Rajasthan shoot, while engaging in a deep cultural and creative exchange. This experience emphasizes learning through collaboration—observing and participating in the filmmaking process, understanding regional culture, and gaining practical industry exposure.
    During travel, we stay in general backpacker hostels or hotels, and all expenses are covered by me, including accommodation, food, and travel related to the project.

    About Me & Our Work
    I have previously worked as a Creative Associate for a TV production house, Associate Director for two big budget TV serials and as a Director’s Associate on an Amazon Mini feature film. I have also been involved in large-scale Bollywood productions with substantial budgets.
    My educational background includes:
    • Documentary Filmmaking at University College London
    • A Diploma in Filmmaking from Paris
    This blend of international education and on-ground industry experience creates a rich, mentorship-driven environment for learning and growth.
    ________________________________________
    How You Will Benefit
    • Gain hands-on experience on a feature film set
    • Learn filmmaking processes directly from an industry professional
    • Develop skills in storytelling, visual documentation, and production
    • Experience cultural exchange while traveling across India
    • Build meaningful creative and professional connections
    ________________________________________
    Who Should Apply
    You are a good fit if you:
    • Are fluent in English
    • Have a basic understanding of storytelling or character development
    • Are curious, proactive, and open to learning
    • Are genuinely interested in cinema and creative collaboration
    ________________________________________
    If you’re looking for a purpose-driven, immersive filmmaking experience, I invite you to apply and become part of our creative journey as we bring this feature film to life.
    Please note, this is an independent film project, and we are looking for volunteers who can commit to a minimum of 2 months, as filmmaking requires continuity, collaboration, and time to develop the work properly.
    Looking forward to connecting.
    Best regards,
    Sumeet
