New Delhi: Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane will present the short psychological thriller film 'Incognito'.
The film is directed by Ravi Muppa and will be released on a new, shorts-exclusive YouTube channel, 'Oh Flip Shorts', backed by producer Ranjan Singh and curated by Kashyap, according to a press release.
Featuring Vikram Singh, Ayushi Nema and Dev Chauhan, it follows a cash-strapped motel receptionist who profits from hidden-camera videos until he records a girl in danger of being trafficked and must decide whether to save her or protect himself.
Kashyap said short films are the first stepping stone for a director to test their storytelling style.
“I’ve always loved short films as they are the first stepping stone for a director to test their storytelling style and give them actual practice in shooting a story,” he said in a statement.
“Continuing the same, this is our effort to showcase some excellent short films, curated by me and presented by filmmakers whose work I look up to. We’re glad to begin with ‘Incognito’ by Ravi Muppa,” he added.
Motwane said, “‘Incognito’ is gripping and beautifully atmospheric, a true-blue genre short with an out-of-the-box ending. Congratulations to Ravi and his team, and I’m so happy that we can present this to the audience.”
Executive producer Ranjan Singh, who backed the short under the Flip Films banner, thanked Kashyap and Motwane for supporting the film.
“We are thankful to Anurag for the curation, and Vikram and other directors for lending their support to it. Every month we'll be premiering one new short on the channel and hope that we'll be able to build a community very soon," he said.
The film is co-produced by Hollywood's Invention Studios alongside Flip Films and Campfire Studios, with Kashyap, Nicholas Weinstock, Divya Souza and Ranjan Singh serving as producers.
