    Love, Not Lost

    Love Not Lost is a Theatrical Masterpiece that follows the journey of a young man who is forced to shoulder the burden of caring for his family after the death of his mother and the declining health of his father. Driven by love and a deep sense of responsibility, he dedicates himself to meeting the needs of those around him, often at the expense of his own well-being.

    As the weight of these obligations grows, his selflessness gradually transforms into a saviour complex. Consumed by the belief that he must fix everyone’s problems, he begins to lose sight of himself and his own needs. When the appreciation, support, and reciprocity he longs for fail to materialize, feelings of disappointment and resentment take root.

    Through an emotional and intimate narrative, Love Not Lost explores the complexities of sacrifice, family, expectations, and the often-overlooked consequences of giving so much of oneself that there is little left to receive or sustain.

    Sandwiched

    Sandwiched is a thought-provoking short film that explores the difficult choices people face in a system that appears functional on the surface yet constantly works against them. In a world where shortcuts and questionable opportunities seem to offer a faster route to success, every decision comes with a price.

    The film follows individuals caught between the pressure to keep up with their peers and the desire to stay true to their values. As they navigate an environment filled with tempting alternatives and uncertain outcomes, they must decide whether to take risky paths with potentially devastating consequences or persevere through the slower, more challenging road.

    Sandwiched examines ambition, survival, societal pressure, and the moral compromises people make in their pursuit of a better life.
