After the success of  previous three editions  of his ‘Shoot a short’ workshop on short film making, Umesh Kulkarni has announced  the fourth edition of  this workshop, which is to be held    between10th December to 13th December 2015 at NFAI, Kothrud, Pune. The enthusiasm shown by the participants & continuous enquiries from the people, has encouraged Umesh   to arrange the workshop for the fourth time.

Three time National Award recipient director Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni and film academician Samar Nakhate will be conducting this  workshop. And, the workshop will primarily be held in Marathi Language. Therefore for Prospective Marathi film makers, this is a golden opportunity to  learn something worthwhile, from these experts.

Passionate about short films, as an independent form of storytelling,  Umesh Kulkarni says that despite the easy access to technology and resources available to upcoming filmmakers, there aren’t good content driven short films, being made in India. “By providing the right inputs through this workshop, I believe, enthusiast participants can develop a better perspective and understanding of the medium of short filmmaking. Short films and feature films are as different as short stories and novels,  hence should not be compared on the same level”, he added.

At the workshop, aspects such as basic concepts of film making, fundamentals of Production of Short Film, Translating Idea into a Script, Pre-Production, Production and Post Production, working with Actors / Non Actors, Crew Management and Scope for Shorts at Short Film Festivals will be dealt with. After the workshop, participants will be asked to submit scripts of their short films out of which 4 will be selected and produced by Aroh Velankar’s  “Rangartha Productions”. The workshop is open for people above 18 years of age.

It may be recalled that besides producing  feature films like Valu, Vihir, Deool and Highway , Umesh has eight short films to his credit. More importantly,  Umesh Kulkarni has also kept his passion for short films alive. And therefore, to  keep the short films movement growing, he has also started a short film club in Pune.  The workshop will be conducted in the National Film Archive of India, Kothrud on 10, 11, 12 & 13th of December 2015.
