This was really intersting short film and also it looked like a very serious attempt, but I am sorry to say I did not understand what the director is trying to say. What is the story behind "Mask"? why he calls his wife a "bitch"? Please someone explain me? Thanks!
Hi this is Vijay Vemuri. I'm the writer/director of this film. You can find much about the story and other stuff relating to this film in my blog vijaydirectsdotwordpressdotcom
The explanation does nt do much good because there are gaps in the storytelling.
1. U failed to clearly establish the significance of the mask in their lives.
2. U said "One day, a mishap occurs to the wife that apparently interferes with their fantasy". mishap is her seeing the mask. Does it mean that she did not know the existence of the mask in her house or that her hubby wears it. u did nt establish that eithr.
3. Y did the hubby assume somethng is going 2 b wrong with their love life whn the wife did nt evn remembr the incident. Wudnt she thn forget that she saw the mask as well. Then thr shudnt be any prblm n this isnt a mishap, right.
4. What was ur purpose of showing a poor couple, is it to say that rich ppl hv weird fantasies, but fr simple poor ppl it is just plain scary. That was unclear as well.
Ur techniques are excellent, and ur editing is good. The actors did a great job & music quality impeccable. But all these r going to go waste if u cannot tell a story. If ur intention was to gain attention, then bravo, u did it. But if it was to scare ppl, or create a thriller, then I wud say it was quite bland.
Oh, and I wanted to add, did u mean to say that some ppl have everything but live fake, artificial lives...which normal, in this case, poor, ppl cannot comprehend???
Mr Vemuri. If you want us to read ur blog for understanding story line, why u wasted this much of effort and time. you r talented in photography, but not screenplay.
Film “Artificial” story summary Posted: May 18, 2012 in Uncategorized 0 2 Votes An upper middle class couple in India seems to have a normal regular life on the outset. However, the wife seems not to be normal. She has visions of a demon whenever some foul language is used by people in daily life. The hubby calls from work and the couple has a strange conversation over the phone. All this leads to the point where it is revealed that the couple has a strange bedroom fantasy. One day, a mishap occurs to the wife that apparently interferes with their fantasy. This puts the husband in confusion as to how to deal with the situation and compels him to consult with a shrink. After appropriate advice from the shrink, the couple are back to continuing with their fantasy. The discarded object of the couple’s fantasy is found by a ragpicker. He carries it and tries it out at home to the utter shock of his woman. -Vijay Vemuri

Nevertheless, good luck. Keep going.
