Hi, I'm a young independent filmmaker chasing silver-screen dreams from Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Have been jaded with the direction of Film & Art over the past decade. Hopefully Mastodon is an attempt at a fresh start at creating a space for thoughtful, sincere film.

I'll be using using this to connect with other artists and support my own films from time to time.

Cinema isn't dead yet.

"As for the film 'fans' themselves - they are easily discovered in a crowd. An up-turned head, strained eyes, and a readiness to grasp a neighbouring arm are infallible signs of a haunter of picture palaces!"

In the Irish Independent this week 1923, dedicated cinemagoer R.J. Purcell suggested some improvements to cinema, including the hope that closeups would follow the demise of poorly synched sound effects. "A tear as big as a potato fails to awaken the desired response in a damp climate like ours."

"The treatment of the interior is in simple classical style of the Doric order...No expense has been spared on the seats, furnishings and other appointments... Noteworthy is the arrangement of opening wall panels concealing windows, operated by automatic gear." Image: Irish Times.
