Filmmaker Shuns Big Screen for Series
30 Aug
Summary
- Filmmaker Sudip Sharma prefers long-form series over feature films.
- He finds streaming offers more creative liberty than filmmaking.
- Sharma is currently working on an upcoming OTT show.
Filmmaker and writer Sudip Sharma, recognized for his contributions to "NH10" and "Udta Punjab," is currently focusing on long-form series rather than feature films. Sharma expressed that the current cinematic landscape doesn't align with his interests, finding the opportunities in OTT platforms more appealing.
He finds the extended narrative structure of series offers a more satisfying creative canvas, allowing for deeper dives into themes and characters than he feels filmmaking currently permits. Sharma is not drawn to the star-driven films dominating Hindi cinema and doesn't see himself as the right fit for such projects.
Sharma has already begun work on a new OTT show, with shooting set to commence soon. While he is also serving as an executive producer on the film "Babita Singh Reporting," his primary creative energy is directed towards the series format.
