SUNSHINE DREAMERS BY RIMA DAS
We set out to tell the stories of children who play Under-14 cricket and are passionate about it. Through our film, we explored how their zest for the game motivates them to achieve their dreams on field and off it.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Five countries came together to tell the story of the love and dedication budding sports players have to achieve the same dream. Cricket being such a huge craze in India it was only obvious, we made our film on Cricket while the other BRICS nations set their films on Football. It was exciting shooting in Mumbai with this bunch of passionate Under 14 cricketers. Their zest to make it big is very inspiring.
