Making independent films is a lonely job: Sudhir Mishra

Mumbai: Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, a jury member for an upcoming movie awards, says he finds the younger talent inspiring as the Mumbai movie industry can be lonely for a person dabbling in independent films.

Mishra is on the jury of News18.com's REEL Movie Awards with Farah Khan, Sujoy Ghosh, Sudhir Mishra and Nikkhil Advani. The awards, which will celebrate and honour the artistes will be held here on March 20.

"I wanted to be a part of this jury because the younger lot inspires me, I feel less lonely, otherwise the idea of making independent films is a lonely job if you look at the Mumbai film industry," Mishra said in a statement.

The REEL Movie Awards will also have a curated panel discussion on future of content consumption and new age cinema, which will witness participation of dignitaries from popular OTT platforms. There will also be a performance by celebrated stand-up comedians.
