Story
This is about a film unit which goes for a shoot in a deep forest with bare minimal facilities run by strange and quirky man called Setu.
Director's Note(In his own words)
I have always been an incredible fan of the thriller genre where there is an unknown or a
known entity which is out to kill at random a group of people trapped in a certain situation
whether it is Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ or John Carpenter’s “The Thing”. Not to forget the “Blair Witch
Project” in which the genius of the concept has gone to the extent of not showing the
antagonist at all. I have titled my film based on this concept as ‘AGYAAT’ ‐meaning the unknown.
This movie will also be about the emotional complexities that extreme fear unleashes in people.
The story is about how a film unit on a shoot, in a far away land in a certain situation gets
trapped deep in a forest and one by one the members start getting killed.
Why I selected a film unit to be the protagonists for this story is because a film unit is literally
like a walking office in terms of its various hierarchical elements.
A star who is obsessed with himself, a leading lady who bears with him because of his stardom,
a director who thinks he will be the next Steven Spielberg, a producer who thinks that the
director is screwing up his film, an assistant director who has a crush on the heroine, a script girl
who has quite a few things for the assistant director, a frustrated action director who has a
hidden maniacal streak in him, a highly subservient spot boy with a monstrous ego, are just a
few of the assorted characters in this story.
The unknown entity which starts killing them one by one in the film is really a premise and the
real exciting part for me is the human drama of how in a given situation the whole film unit’s
hierarchical differences get erased and all of them become as human as anybody else when
faced with death.
