"This film project was the reason I began walking the forests of my home. It was so exciting to discover for the first time that I lived so close to a world so rich in flora and fauna. The film was a project that I undertook as part of the Green Hub Fellowship Program in Tezpur, Assam.
I spent ten months filming while I was part of the program and then stayed on as a training assistant while continuing to work on my film. Green Hub has been an integral part of the process, where I learnt filmmaking and also where I was inspired to take up such a project. Over the two years, while I filmed this project, faculty and colleagues at Green Hub helped formulate and develop my ideas and the campus became the base from where I could develop my film. The fieldwork for the film was conducted entirely in and around Singchung village in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh where I was born and raised."
