The next day I was preparing a short film when I found out that there was a short film competition going on there. Within two hours, the script writing, casting, and shooting were all submitted for the competition. Since it was time to study journalism, it was not difficult to get a camera. I had no idea that the short film would be shown there. I was not at all satisfied with that work when it was screened because it was suddenly stolen. Everyone who saw it said the same thing. is an element somewhere. But that means something is missing. It was just a joke and it didn’t come to a cinematic rhythm.”
