VJing is an art which combines many skillsets.

Mosquito Massala's Samvida Nanda started out with a base in Design and Filmmaking. An exciting project wherein she worked as the DA with the Production House, Melting Clock in Mumbai, saw the creation of ad commercials for sharings as TVCs and Digital contents for SMAAASH. The campaign was around welcoming all the sports fans out there to "Hit Your Play Button!"

It was a great experience for her to work on the shot breakdown, and lights, and sceneography, for an ad series which mixed film and animation; and featured the iconic cricketer Sachin Tendulkar!

"Sawali"- by Arya Rothe - 15min

A short fiction film about a girl in her early twenties, who lives a lonely life.

She can't smell, taste or digest any food. She lives with a memory of a story her mother once told her.
The story is about a crow and its shadow.
Slowly her shadow starts eating everything.
It consumes everything in her life.
Till a point where she doesn't know what around her is real, and what is not.
