Ever since i started martial arts, I’ve had this dream of one day being part of an action movie. I never knew when or how it would happen. I just knew that i wanted to experience it someday.

As my university journey was coming to an end, I manifested getting the chance to act in an action movie. And somehow, I got the opportunity to do exactly that, with the best people. @snowbirdsmovie

Akash aiya @akashsunethkumara thank you for believing in me, giving me this opportunity, and guiding me through my very first acting experience with so much patience, kindness, and care.🤍

The past one and half months, I've been away shooting my first feature and what a ride it was. To witness something you conceived in your mind turning into reality on this scale before your eyes was a mini-shock every day and there were multiple pinch-myself moments.
It's been a few days since we wrapped @snowbirdsmovie and I needed some time to myself before posting anything but here goes.

To our Producer for allowing us the freedom to tell this story and believing in it at the same time

To the Cast for breathing life into the characters I wrote and inhabiting them to the point where we were all calling you by your character names instead of your real ones.

To the Production Department, for pulling off such a complex shoot and balancing a tightrope walk

To the Maktüb Studios team for gatekeeping each take to ensure we got the best one to put in front of an audience

To the Camera team for ensuring every frame was picture perfect and never saying no to putting my madness on screen

To the Lighting Dept for giving me the ability to shoot 360 degrees for each scene

To the Costume Dept for taking my vision and bringing life to characters via amazing attire

To the Makeup Dept for elevating characters and making everyone screen-ready

To the ADs for coordinating every single day through chaos

To the Art Dept for dressing and creating the set pieces and props within the film's world

To the Sound Dept for going the extra mile by capturing direct sound like I always intended

To the BTS and DIT respectively for capturing behind the scenes moments and gatekeeping footage for post-production

To the Stunts Dept for being willing to execute crazy ideas on a moment's notice and making the cast look good

To the Transport & Logistics dept for getting everyone to set and back safely

To the Craft dept for always keeping us fed and getting us through long nights

And to the families and loved ones who put up with the late nights, disappearing weekends and ridiculous hours that came with making this film, thank you for lending us your people for a little while.

To everyone that worked on this little fever-dream of mine - thank you ❤️
