This scene from The Doorbell is perhaps the most poignant piece of cinema I have achieved as a filmmaker.
Fraught with challenges yet deeply endearing in this moment.

From our Co-Founder: I lost 2 family members in last 2 months to COVID. I have never faced such deep, personal loss in quick succession. I find writing very therapeutic. It allows me to create an alternative reality where I am in the complete control of the narrative.
The beauty of storytelling is that your characters can be embodiment of the people who mattered to you in your real life. Hence was born the idea of Möbius, a reincarnation story embroiled in a corporate espionage.
Möbius is an opportunity for me to marry Western filmmaking techniques with Eastern philosophy. Super excited to see this project come to fruition.
Everyone loves Christmas. Well, almost everyone. While the lights are the most distinctive feature of Christmas, there are also certain scents that signify Christmas.
It might sound weird but Gingerbread, Open fire, Cinnamon, and Hot Chocolate are some of the scents that make Christmas even not enjoyable and memorable.

High school can be fun but also equally stressful if its environment is incoherent with your personality.
Karina didn’t enjoy her high school experience because while she loves to be friends with everyone, her high school was very cliquey which meant that people were divided into closed groups and outsiders weren’t welcome.
In contrast, her college was much more open and there weren’t cliques which excluded a section of students.

Adventure parks are fun! While they provide adrenaline rush to some, they are a nightmare for others who can’t stop screaming on each ride.
Parth falls in the former category where he loves to explore adventure parks in summer. Couple that with hiking trails in the scenic mountains of Canada while enjoying your favorite flavor of ice cream.
Now that experience is hard to beat. Explore how Parth and Karina bonded over their love for outdoors: http://bit.ly/Parth-Karina

Full episode here: http://bit.ly/Parth-Karina

When an Indian boy met an American girl for a blind date, the conversation that followed proved that people from different cultures too can build a common ground for trust and acceptance.
Arrange marriages are a unique cultural practice in some cultures, notably South Asia.
While the concept might seem a bit absurd to the people in the West, it’s the way of life for most people in the East. If you were born in India, it’s easier for you to escape death than to escape the idea of arranged marriage.
The practice has its own benefits and pitfalls but Millennials and Gen Z have been triggered a deviation from the practice.

Mumbai VS Delhi is one of the most fiercely debated topics.
Residents of both cities can conjure a million reasons for why their city is better over the other one. While Mumbai has scenic seaside beauty, Delhi has lip-smacking street food.
Usually, people stick to their guns but something unusual happened on Episode 5 of Master Dating. Rishie, who is originally from Delhi, agreed with Hemali that Mumbai is a better city.

Who doesn’t love a good, hand-written note?
It shows that the person cares for you enough to put their thoughts and pen to paper to make you feel special. While it’s easy to simply shoot a text or send an emoji, the extra distance a person goes to write a note depicts sincerity which is increasingly becoming rare.
Rishie loves to send and receive handwritten notes. However, when it comes to handwriting, Rishie admits that Mayan glyphs are more legible. Ultimately, it’s the effort that counts and if you really care for someone, handwritten notes are the way to go.

Humans find happiness in various things. It could be as lavish as buying a mansion or as basic as finding your favorite ice cream flavor.
Over the last few years, authors all over the world have offered their perspective on how to absorb happiness. While some are philosophical in nature, others are more practical.

Horror movies, if done right, can really give you nightmares. Unfortunately though, finding a genuinely spooky film/series is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Anamika mentioned that watching The Haunting of the Bly Manor terrified her to the point that she couldn’t sleep at nights. Based on marvelous performances and tight screenplay, the series keeps you on the hook every episode.
Check out some of the other series/movies that serve as a perfect nightmare fuel.
Japanese people are perhaps the nicest people in the world. They always maintain their composure and treat everyone with respect.
When Anamika was in Japan, she noticed this idea in practice. The Zen nature of Japanese people is in stark contrast to how Anamika holds herself. Anamika, self-admittedly, would end up being frustrated if she couldn’t find her headphones in the morning.

A solid friendship is at the core of every romantic relationship. Yet, people fear the dreaded "friend-zone" as they do not want to be ruled out as a romantic prospect with people they have a crush on. It's an interesting dichotomy.
Most people would go to the end of the world if they are promised true love. However, sometimes, the thing that you're looking for might just be right beside you all along.
Erin knew that the love of her life is not in Denver. What Erin didn't know that her ideal partner would turn about to be the person that she was "just friends" with for the longest time. Read on!

Many of us spend every minute looking for love, but little did we know that when we stop looking for love, that’s when love decides to…
