it's okay to stop and JUST BE ~ an experimental short film (2023)

Watch Here

In crafting "it's okay to stop and JUST BE," I (Arin Paul) aimed to create an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Inspired by the delicate interplay of motion and stillness in our daily lives, this experimental short film invites the audience to embrace the beauty found in the moments between the hustle and bustle.

The film is a testament to the power of visuals and music, allowing them to convey a narrative that goes beyond words. Through a minimalistic approach of carefully curated shots, each frame becomes a canvas for contemplation, encouraging viewers to find solace in the simplicity of 'just being.'

As a filmmaker, I believe in the potency of storytelling that extends beyond dialogue and plot. "it's okay to stop and JUST BE" is a celebration of the unsaid, the unseen, and the often-overlooked beauty in our surroundings. It is my hope that this cinematic journey provides a pause for reflection and a space to appreciate the profound poetry embedded in the everyday.

A treasure trove of splendid Hindi film posters, lobby cards, booklets, and more, each piece a hand-painted masterpiece with a story to tell.

These posters weren't mere artwork; they were portals to bygone times, where passionate artists breathed life onto canvases, shaping the visual identity of India's cinematic giants. Each frame frozen in time was a lesson in composition, colour, and the art of captivating audiences with a single glance.
