DODO is a psychological fictional drama that unfolds in the fragile space between life and death. This story follows Rahul, a man who finds himself conscious in the final seven minutes after his death. Trapped in a surreal, dreamlike state, his mind begins to unravel memories from his past - moments of love , mistakes , ambition and regret . Rahul died in his 20s, but was buried in his 60s .

The production of DODO was an exercise in extreme efficiency and creative discipline. We challenged the traditional norms of filmmaking by completing the entire shoot in just two days .

​Operating with a lean crew of only five members, the production relied on a  total involvement philosophy. Every person on set—from the actors to the technical team—took on multiple roles, blurring the lines between departments to bring this vision to life. This raw, focused energy allowed us to maintain a deep connection to the story’s psychological core without the distractions of a massive production.
