Dishani Chakraborty opens up about her film
On the emotional core of One Last Day, she said, “I’ve gone through heartbreak myself, and writing this film felt therapeutic not in a painful way, but in a gentle one. I didn’t want to tell a story about the moment things fall apart. I wanted to focus on the moment just before that, the fantasy of having one last day with someone you love, where you’re still choosing each other, even though you know you’re about to let go.”
Dishani on advice from her superstar father
Sharing about getting any advice from her father and brother, she said, “I actually had both my dad and my brother come to set one day, which was really special. It’s always a little intimidating performing in front of my dad because he’s my biggest inspiration, but having his support and hearing how proud he was meant everything to me. My brother, Namashi, has been a huge influence on my creative process. Watching him write, produce, and act in his own short films made the idea of creating something of my own feel possible. Seeing that kind of creative independence up close really encouraged me to focus on writing and to trust my voice as a storyteller.”
On writing, acting, and producing the film, she said, “It was definitely overwhelming at times, but also really special. Katherine Russell and I wrote the story together—it started as her idea and I spent almost two years developing the screenplay before I felt ready to share it. Acting in a film I’ve written feels very exposed. It almost felt like bringing a diary entry to life, which made the experience incredibly cathartic for me. Producing was the scariest hat to wear because I had never been involved in pre- or post-production before, but I was lucky to have such a supportive crew. My producer, Nidhin Patel, truly guided me through every step, and having that kind of support made the entire process feel collaborative rather than intimidating.”
