Summer of August - a short film
 

Monika & Ashish came to us in Fall of 2009 for wedding cinematography services. After sitting down with them and learning their story, I knew there was a story at hand to be told. I proposed them the idea of a short film.

Naturally, they don't have any acting background, so they didn't welcome the idea that much. But after speaking to them continuously, they bought it into the idea and hence began the scripting stage.

We heavily involved them in the scripting process so their story is told properly. Our goal was to make something with light humour.

The concept of Same Day Edit integrated with their story was something that I never told them about. I wanted to see surprise faces on the wedding day but the whole concept was always there from the beginning.
