Ms.Shinu Vincent
Film Enthusiast
I am a working woman and a movie enthusiast. I had an interest in watching movies since my childhood, but this interest magnified when I started watching movies with the visual communication students and faculty of a college where I used to work. Movies have helped me to unlearn and learn many things and have changed my perceptions in socio-political matters. I am still learning. I strongly believe that movies create a great impact on society, and filmmakers must have sensibility at all levels while creating their craft.
