Behind what appears on the silver screen is a vast, dynamic, living, breathing ecosystem of labour, material, technology and processes that shape the creative outcome of a film.
From the gaffer who lights up the set to the set dresser who resets the pillow covers, each person is an essential part of the story being told, the film being seen.
We bring to the limelight, some of these anonymous workers – the backbones of any film.
For Line Producer Kishor Sawant, the search for a location is the most fascinating aspect of creating a film. From the moment the script is handed over to him, the hunt for locations matching the idea of the writer is set in motion. He began his journey as a child artist in Mere Bhaiya, a film produced by Rajshri Productions in 1972. Sawant has worked on films in several languages, as well as feature, documentary, and short films. He was part of the crew of the Marathi film The Disciple (2020), directed by Chaitanya Tamhane.
