Created and launched a 3-episode docu-series on Indian culture.
Directors/ Producers/ Editors: @pocketpeter_ & @prawnshawn
Graphic Design: @pocketpeter_
Food Sponsor: Casuarina Curry
Culture Crash Course is a 3-episode docu-series unpacking the rich, multi-layered Indian experience that goes beyond stereotypes. Through candid conversations, it explores aspects of Indian culture such as food, language and media. This is in no way an exhaustive exploration, but I hope it gives you a glimpse into how one Indian boy learned to love his culture.
What began as a small passion project grew into something much bigger. Beyond creating the docu-series, I found myself scripting, hosting, filming, editing, designing, and pulling together all the moving parts needed to bring it to life.
To celebrate its launch, I organised a premiere night from the ground up, scurrying to book a venue, curating a photo exhibition, designing the space, and inviting friends and family to be part of the first live screening (with delicious food from Casuarina Curry, of course).
There were snacks, drinks and a whole lot of heart. I also had the chance to design event collaterals, social media graphics, a PR kit (complete with stickers, a mini booklet, and custom keychain socks). It was a full-circle creative journey that reminded me why I love doing what I do!
