[@TheCosmicThread11]

If he had a masterclass I would be first in line. I love how unusual his style is, a breath of fresh air compared to 90% of movies that are common, predictable, been done before plots. Thanks for the inspiration Night 😊

There’s some important elements to being a successful filmmaker…..talent and luck. Let’s get real, millions of ppl study and train to be a filmmaker, very few make it.

[@Pyro-Moloch]

Indian mafia, lol

[@Winduct]

I knew it. But no one believed me.

[@Pyro-Moloch]

tbf there's probably an actual indian mafia somewhere in India

[@HunterMann]

I think maybe they’re referring to the Mavericks and outlaws of filmmaking, those who are either from India or have Indian roots.
