Makers Our Story

A film about the Film Industry? Now that is indeed unique! Makers Our Story is a voyage of sorts for those of you who always wonder what the film industry is like on the inside.

This documentary is a journey through the ins and outs of the British Film industry, as it extrapolates the cause and effects of storytelling on the celluloid. It digs deep to find why the film industry is such a hit even in times of slump. The routine questions are well answered, while new ones are raised and effectively explained. What is that drive behind making movies and what is it that actually drives it to success? How do makers come to decide, who to cater to and how? Well, the industry sustains itself with ease with the makers and stars finding inspiration to come up with something better every time to appease the audiences.

The movie takes you through from the very inception of the British movie industry to its current day scenario, as it covers legendary works of art (in form of movies of course), and the legends associated with them (actors, film makers, directors etc). It surely will add perspective, while you watch your next British movie.

Makers Our Story offers a wonderful platform to the British film industry, showcasing its lesser known novelties, that are often over-looked in its inevitable comparison with Hollywood. The movie serves two purposes-the first being, paying a glorious tribute to British cinema, and the second being, throwing light on the plight of independent filmmakers. At the end of it, it leaves behind a strong lesson of believing in one’s potential, and striving to fulfill a dream without caring about the repercussions.

The movie is sure to hit home with aspiring filmmakers not just in the U.K., but the world over, as it is inspirational enough to make one get off the couch and convert thoughts into action. Its beauty however, lies in the fact that it serves as an anchor to the millions of dreams that are shattered every day, not just in the film industry, but everywhere. This is indeed ‘our story’- a story of each one of us, that’s totally worth a watch!
