An Interview with an Up Coming Writer Mr Sree Kumar:
Mr Sree Kumar is from a middle-class background and began his career in the tech industry. Along the way, he discovered a love for writing as he was always been captivated by stories, whether through listening or reading , which led him to share his short stories and novels on blogs and eventually on platforms like Amazon. Through this writing venture, he was fortunate enough to transition into writing for movies. As he have another job which handles his finances so he just have to balance the two jobs, it's tough but his dream helps him to manage the time.
He is drawn to a writing style that thrives on larger-than-life, exaggerated realities, while centering on fundamental emotions and simple philosophies. Cinema, in his view, serves as the perfect platform for this approach. It's a medium that excels at portraying heightened realities, effectively conveying realistic ideas, all while preserving the enchantment of visual storytelling.
He wants to write in all genres even if they are outside of his comfort zone but he would do with extreme caution as this is an industry which involves more money a simple misstep can cost him a fortune, so he would collaborate with folks who are strong in the genres if he is not very comfortable in it.
Unique perspective on writing:
Humanity , liberation, self realisation are some of the themes are he most interested in exploring through his writing as these issues around it are such a powerful medium like cinema that can be used to deliver these themes efficiently.
Certainly there are a few projects that hold a special place in his heart. They provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment as he work on them. Each of these projects revolves around the themes of liberation and self-realization, interwoven within a fantastical fictional world. This blend brings a distinct depth and resonance to the narratives.
Favorite film:
Django Unchained is actually one of his all-time favourite. As he said, "The storytelling is straightforward and relatable, making it a hit with a wide audience. But what really nails it is how they've shaped the characters and scenes - steering clear of clichés and making us genuinely root for the crew. The dialogue, spot-on written, cranks up the tension in all the right spots. And that dinner scene? It's like a masterclass in how characters, story, and talkin' all come together for one heck of a mesmerizing ride."
Building connections in film industry:
He always value quality more than quantity. He says, "It's actually pretty easy in cinema industry to create connection but to get good reliable connections is a challenge, i think as long as you love your job and be true to yourself and others the network keeps building by itself, we just have to be open for new opportunities with optimism."
Handle rejection:
As rejection is common in the film industry so, he understood the fact it’s perfectly normal for his story to go unliked and rejected. He said that Many great movies have faced rejection, he just take it as an opportunity to understand why the story didn't connect with them and will try to improve it if needed.
