Travel Film Scholarship - Rio 2013 - Shriya & Eeshit

Team Application:
The Parsi community of Mumbai has been crucial towards shaping the city’s culture and industry. This inspired us to capture the 90 year old Parsi restaurant, Britannia, one of the last few remaining in our city, encapsulating time and heritage. Having grown up in contemporary Mumbai, it gives us a chance to experience the unique charm of old Bombay, one that we feel, must not be missed by any explorer.
We became friends when we part of the GoldmanSachs Global Leaders program back in college. This travel scholarship has now brought us together yet again but this time, as a team of co-filmmakers driven to tell stories of people from diverse societies. Shriya is a theatre actor, classical dancer, as well as an amateur filmmaker having made 3 short documentaries. Eeshit is a cinematography student at Film Institute, Pune. We also have been assisting in our respective fields. Previously, we have collaborated on 2 projects (See vimeo link) and this travel video becomes our 3rd, and hopefully our ticket to Rio!
What interests us is to capture the essence of people and what brings great joy to them. That is exactly what we would love to be mentored for in Rio.
