    #7 - Are you an aspiring ACTOR or DIRECTOR?

    Episode Category : Counterculture  This episode introduces two non-fictions on Robin Williams and Heath Ledger respectively, which are gold mines to know more about acting and how to handle actors. Also, two fictions starring these versatile actors, which most of you haven't watched yet. The main reason for such an episode is to address the sudden demise of Sushanth Singh Rajput and to clinical depression which has been eating most of our brains.   (E) : filmstudentsdiary@gmail.com  (IG) :   FSD - https://instagram.com/filmstudentsdiary/  Personal - https://instagram.com/georgy_abraham_/

    Ep #6 ”How expectations slow down screenwriting career?" (Episode Category : Master Writer)

    Manichithrathazhu, one of the best ever Malayalam movies, is said to be copied from some classic movies. Especially Sir Alfred Hitchcock 's VERTIGO . Is there any truth behind this allegation? Why hasn't Madhu Muttam, who debuted as a screenwriter with Manichithrathazhu, didn't write any more worth enough movie till date? How did expectations turn a successful screenwriter into a recluse?

    Ep #4 - How to master the Circular & Novelistic Structure (Pulp Fiction Vs Anataram)

Let's check the credibility of these claims by studying Anantaram (1987) directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan.  Film Student's Diary, Episode 4, ("Old is Gold" episode category) (M) : filmstudentsdiary@gmail.com  FSD - https://instagram.com/filmstudentsdiary/  Personal - https://instagram.com/georgy_abraham_/ #PulpFiction #QuentinTarantino #Tarantino #Adoor #AdoorGopalakrishnan #Anantaram #Mammootty #Ashokan #Shobhana #JohnTravolta #SamuelJackson #UmaThurman

    Ep #0 - One minute trailer

    Through this channel, I will let you know what I have learned about screenwriting and filmmaking, citing Malayalam Movie examples. That’s the catch. Indian movies are not all about Bollywood. To be frank the movies made in Kerala are less glamorous, but way ahead of Bollywood.  This channel won’t be concentrating only on the obscure facts of any sort. I will be posting an introduction episode soon, to mention what all are the categories and topics that I will be covering.
