How Kilig was Born.

With it being my final year at university, I had to decide what I wanted to do. I always knew I wanted to go out with a piece that would really stick out and utilize everything that I have learnt over my 5 years of studying film. And here we are, shooting the narrative film Kilig during a national pandemic. It’s going to be a challenge, but here I am sharing it with you all!

It was quite funny how this all started. Me and the producer and writer, Jess, were hanging out in a bar. We both were in that position where we didn’t know what we wanted to do for our final year. I had worked with Jess previously on serval occasions and she brought up an idea that she had brought up in the past. The idea wasn’t workable with our brief before so we didn’t do it, but now we have zero narrative constraints and we can do whatever we want.

When I heard the idea again, I instantly clicked. Having practised many years of cinematography, I’m starting to get to a point where I can see my style. Poetic and abstract is something I find coming back again and again. I could see the imagery for the film right away! We left with countless ambitious ideas such as fundraising, sourcing niche actors in the UK and getting together a large, yet COVID-safe, crew.

Thanks for reading my first blog post on Kilig, feel free to contact me if you have any questions as I’d love to chat!

Much love,

Darshan.
