The film
Ravi has rowed the same backwater for forty years, carrying people, rice and news. Aditi spent a monsoon in his boat. Twelve minutes on the water.
Inside the edit
Four decisions, where they sit in the film.
The film opens on the oar, not on Ravi. You hear him before you see his face.
The grade
Drag across the frame: the log file on the left, the graded film on the right.
Graded in DaVinci Resolve. One look across the festival master and the trailer.
The cut
A monsoon of footage, mostly from inside the boat. The first cut tried to explain the backwaters.
It worked once we stayed in the boat and let the rest of the world pass by on the banks.
