Film Direction is a serious subject especially to a person who has decided to don the director's cap himself.It would mean to challenge his passion and thinking as the entire onus of a film turning up on the screen depends a lot flowing from the director's table.This is something many of the film directors would also agree.But there is a young lad who has made India proud with his debut directorial venture C/O Footpath which was released in 2006.
We were very much surprised by the maturity to handle a script,define characters,work with other artists and get everything fall in to the right place.This film was an achievement as it was crafted by a 10 year old wonder kid Kishan Shrikant.The subject of the film dealt about the life of slum boys and rag pickers.The way they become victims to social abuse and are denied their right to education only because they come from economically backward families.The film highlights the life of the poor slum dwellers and the way they use their children as a means to earn their livelihood.It is about the struggle of a poor eight year old boy who is a rag picker and supports his family .And in his quest for knowledge goes on to chase people right from the slum lord to the minister of education to seek education like any other normal kid of his age.
The film originally made in Kannada was really heart warming and leaving all cyninism has been made well.
It was an impressive track of performance delivered by this boy through this film that we decided to include it and honour the child prodigy.The film ' Care of Footpath' was released on November 26,2006 at Bangalore,Karnataka,India.
