Donation protected
Hi, I am Shambhavi Jha. I am currently a student at the New York Film Academy. I am getting my Masters of Fine Arts degree in Filmmaking. I wish to become a director and sound mixer after completing my course.
As part of my academic journey, my thesis project takes form as a cinematic exploration titled "Echoes of a Dream." This narrative film delves into the life of Vishakha, a 45-year-old NRI mother. Encapsulated within the bounds of tradition, she faces a pivotal day that challenges the constraints imposed by her conservative spouse. In a defiant stride toward her daughter Amaya's aspirations of musical fame, Vishakha embarks on a poignant voyage of self-discovery and the unvoiced dreams that linger within her. This tale holds a special place in my heart, as it mirrors my personal odyssey as a musician familiar with the hurdles of pursuing one's passion for music. Understanding the essence of dreams and the resilience required to chase them, I resonate deeply with the narrative's core, highlighting the intricate journey of following one's dreams against all odds.
My journey toward fulfilling my musical dreams was fraught with challenges, far from a seamless voyage. Yet, in every step, my parents stood as unwavering pillars of support. Despite the financial constraints typical of a middle-class family, they offered every possible assistance, a testament to their belief in my passion. Witnessing others relinquish their aspirations due to inadequate support or financial hurdles only deepened my appreciation for the sacrifices made on my behalf. This project is crafted not only as a tribute to their unyielding encouragement but also as an ode to those who harbor dreams yet tremble at the thought of chasing them. It's a beacon of hope, illuminating the possibility of triumph over fear and doubt in the pursuit of what sets our souls alight.
Your contribution would not only hold immeasurable value to me but to every soul dedicated to bringing this film to life. This project is the embodiment of my deepest passion, and my aspiration is to elevate it to its highest potential. With sights set on showcasing our creation at esteemed film festivals, your support becomes the cornerstone of this dream's realization. It is with hopeful hearts that we reach out, inviting you to become a part of our journey, making it possible to transcend the ordinary and achieve the extraordinary. Your generosity would weave you into the very fabric of our story, a gesture that we would cherish profoundly.
You can follow me the instagram page @e.o.a.d to check the progress of the film.
Thanking you for bringing this film to life.
