BALIKA (FEATURE FILM)
film editor, VFX ARTIST & GRAPHIC DESIGNER

BALIKA tells the story of Dipendra and Sushmita, two teenagers who live in an orphanage in Kathmandu. The protagonists, like all their friends, were abandoned by their families when they were little. During the film we will see how circumstances lead them to make certain decisions for which they are not prepared. Susmita will renounce her family in search of a better future for her and Dipendra will travel to the past in search of answers.
