The Scroll That Stole Time

Written, Produced, Directed, Shot & Edited by Kaushik Sharma

Aarav can’t stop scrolling, but the real problem isn’t the phone. It’s the quiet feeling that his time no longer belongs to him. A calm, unsettling short about attention in the modern world, shot on the streets and quiet corners of Guwahati.
