Logline: At a strict boarding school in the Himalayas, a shy ten‑year‑old struggles to write a sponsor letter, but when fear pushes him toward failure, his imagination reveals a truth no perfect copy ever could.
Description of Project: The Dragon Letter is a 15‑minute short film produced as a Spain–India co‑production under ESCAC Films (Barcelona), following my Master’s in Film Directing at ESCAC. The project was developed after winning ESCAC’s Master’s Pitch Award in December 2024.
Shot across Ladakh (80%) and Barcelona (20%), the film connects two distinct cultures and landscapes through a single story, positioning Ladakh as both a cinematic setting and a source of powerful human narratives. With the support and production quality of ESCAC, the film blends European cinematic craft with Ladakh’s authenticity and visual depth.
Currently in post‑production, The Dragon Letter is being prepared for submission to major international festivals in 2026.
