"An ancient pocket watch holds the secret to a safe. A rich businessman faces a conflict when the pocket watch goes missing and lands up in the hands of skilled robbers. The PURSUIT is on!"​​​​​​​

This was the first proper Fiction Short Film I directed during my filmmaking course at MIT Institute of Design, Pune. It was an intense experience shooting this film in 3 days with multiple locations around Pune and being on time as well. Although I was very nervous during my first shoot it went quiet well and I ended up with pretty good footage to work with in post.

During editing, the VFX elements were the biggest challenge to pull off. Also the double role had to look convincing otherwise it will break the flow of the film. Then the music and sound design had to be done very carefully in order to give that suspense and thriller mood to it. As Post Production is my Forte, I focused on those elements and gave the film enough time to produce a satisfying end result.
