DIRECTOR'S PROFILE
​
Manish Saini graduated from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad in 2009, specializing in Film and Video Communication. It is here that he discovered and channelized his love for story telling into crafting films. He is inspired by the nuances of daily life and has an eye for seeing whimsy and splendour in the seemingly ordinary and mundane happenings around him. He sees cinema as a mirror to real life, his work so far presents characters and humdrum situations through the lens of humour and irony. He aspires to tell stories that are rooted in Indian life and have a mass appeal but at the same time are equally thought provoking. Manish’s student work has won awards and was showcased in many Indian Film Festivals.
Manish founded ‘Amdavad Films’ in 2016 with the intent of realising the project “Dhh”. The production house was founded in collaboration with young entrepreneurs who consist of writers, visualisers, cinematographers, editors, animators and production designers. Amdavad films aims to contribute to the growth of Gujarati Cinema.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
​
Childhood is not just a time or a phase in our lives but rather a place in our minds that we often revisit. The story of ‘Dhh’ hopes to take its audience on a nostalgic journey to the days of innocence and unquestioned faith. It is dedicated to all those who as kids believed that magic can truly solve the bigger problems in life.
The film tries to convey that a true victory is when you find happiness and not when you score 99/100 and that real success is when you make progress and not just stand 1st in class.
Life is an addition of many small instances that seem insignificant, but time often adds them up to teach us immeasurable lessons. The process of learning from life is --w-he-re-t-he -m-ag-ic -h-ap-pe-ns-,- th-is-s-to-ry-a-spi-re-s -to m-agnify this magical experience.
