My new film in development is a Mising language film called Koyad. The film is a tale of desperation told through Pokkam, as he faces life’s various betrayals. Given a boat when he comes of age by his absentee father, he makes his living by collecting firewood from the river Brahmaputra. The film traces his life from childhood, marriage, the birth of his children, through to his old age as he toils thanklessly for his family and is faced with the betrayals of his friends, his creditors, his children, and ultimately the river itself.
