What's happening? (in the story right now). And, who is saying what. That's all that matters.
Avijit Mitra is a filmmaker and writer with more than two decades of experience in working in the film and broadcast industry in India. He played a pivotal role in the branding and promotions of blockbuster commercial television hits, from daily soaps to game shows like the KBC (the Indian version of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’) to the international launch trailers of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali classic, ‘Devdas’. Growing up in a sleepy industrial town with endless afternoons, Avijit developed an early interest in telling stories. Working in the corporate sector (the Star TV Network, Turner International, ESPN) honed his capacity to thrive on urgent deadlines. Avijit obtained much acclaim for his independent films, Airgun (2021) and Taxi … an Uncertain Conversation (2021). Made during the pandemic, the films describe how ordinary people continued their lives as their worlds upended. When he is not making films, Avijit finds peace in reading philosophy, crime-fiction or in playing chess. An avid sports fan he taught himself to play tennis in 2010 and never misses his tennis day even on the hottest months of the year. Avijit is a committed parent and lives in the city of Mumbai. The Swamp Girl is his first novel.
