Project Detail

Filler

Synopsis

Filler brings together children's fairy tales, TV, soap dramas and news reports to tell the story of a missing child. The video explores the cultural shifts that occur from the way these stories are reported - how notions of celebrity, voyeurism and reality are blurring private emotion with public spectacle.

Jaydeep talking in the bedroom Life Is 4 ½ Metres

Director: Jeevan Singh

Year: 2026

A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
