October Filmmaker of the Month - Anu Boparai
October 2024 | Anu Boparai
Tell us about your film career so far...what experience do you have? What skills have you development and how? How did you gain the knowledge you currently have?
After sitting with a huge passion for film, I began my film work with a short documentary filmmaking course with Open City Documentary Festival. After getting an amazing response to my first film, I applied to study the MA in Ethnographic Documentary Filmmaking which allowed me to make even more films and develop my skills as a self-shooting director.
What challenges have you faced? How have you overcome them?
Getting things made can be difficult, especially with documentary but I learnt that the best way is to keep going and always ask for help when you need it.
What are your career ambitions? What is your plan to get there?
To be a director! I would love to work as an AD on some film projects and develop my skills.
What tips and advice do you have for those also on a similar journey trying to establish their film careers?
Make sure you show and share your work!
