This film feels bittersweet.

My grandad passed away today and at the same time, I received these developed super 8 video files from the lab. I felt the need to get this film out today and dedicate it to him. I’m grateful that we were able to see him recently, and while he was well and able to see us too.

The last time I visited was when I was ten for my grandma's passing. I used to hate going to India, the smell, the heat, the humidity - it was all uncommon for me. Now I feel a lot more connected and grateful for that side of me and I feel blessed to have gone again, especially now.

Tread softly.

Darshan.
