Key Points:
- Srishti Lakhera has been working in the field of film lines for almost 13 years. He has produced and directed the film 'Ek Tha Gaon'.
- The film 'Ek Tha Gaon' has earlier made it to the India Gold category of the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) Film Festival.
- This film, made in Garhwali and Hindi languages, tells the story of a ghost village.
- Srishti said that seeing the pain of migration in Uttarakhand, she made this film. Earlier 40 families were living in his village and now there are only five to seven people left. People had to leave the village due to some compulsion or the other. He has presented this confusion in the form of a one-hour film.
