The 48-hour film project follows a tough format. Competing teams are required to shoot a short film in 48 hours. However, Dahisar-based Visuals & Vocals, the production house behind Javed Brahman Hai, which bagged the best film award, had other concerns. Like presenting their well-meaning film in the best possible manner. Javed Brahman Hai is a humorous story about Javed, a Muslim, who agrees to disguise himself as a Brahmin and accompany his friends to a businessman’s house for a meal and other perks. The film will compete with the 48-hour film project’s best films from all over the world for the Best International Film prize of USD 5000 in early 2015. Excerpts from an interview with writers/directors Ramendra Vasishth and Rajendra Sapre.
