As the mist settled gently over the outskirts of Nalbari on the winter mornings of January 6th and 7th, 2025, a small yet passionate team came together to create something special. This short film, backed by Alims Production, marks the debut of writer-director Chandan Barman, who not only penned the narrative but also steps in front of the camera to play a crucial part.
The cast brings together a fresh blend of talent: Shivangee Rajkhowa, Annu Barman, Aongsumi Kashyap, Bhitali Baishya, and Chintu Nick. Their dedication and chemistry on set breathed life into the story against the rustic, winter-kissed backdrop of Nalbari’s outskirts. The film’s grounded setting, coupled with the rawness of winter, added a layer of authenticity and depth that’s rarely captured in short films.
Beyond the camera, the details that bring the characters to life were thoughtfully crafted. The makeup and costumes, carefully monitored by Sania Barman, complemented the narrative’s tone and the natural beauty of the rural landscape. Every fabric choice and brushstroke seemed to speak for the characters’ emotions and journey.






For Chandan Barman, this film is more than just a creative project; it’s an entry into the world of storytelling, where words meet visuals, and vision meets teamwork. Backed by the support of Alims Production, his directorial debut is a testament to what can be achieved when talent, ambition, and community come together.
While details about the storyline remain under wraps, the brief glimpse into the shoot promises an honest portrayal of human emotions set against the serene and chilly charm of Assam’s winter. With a dedicated cast and crew and the creative leadership of a new voice in filmmaking, the anticipation for this short film is undoubtedly growing.
