Filmmaker Sourya Dipta Ghosh's Journey with Before I Forget You
Sourya Dipta Ghosh is a young filmmaker who made his first feature film, Before I Forget You, with a very small budget of Rs 80,000.
He collected this money by doing writing jobs.
The film is about the journey of three friends from their teens to late twenties, shown in just two days without any flashbacks.

He sent emails to many international festivals and won six best feature documentary awards.
The film is now streaming on Japanese platforms, but Sourya is facing financial difficulties and is crowdfunding to keep his film going.
He is hopeful and determined not to give up on his dream.
