Sujata Day advises against putting a time limit on becoming a working professional in the film industry. She believes that art shouldn't be rushed and that setting arbitrary deadlines can hinder success. Instead, she suggests embracing the journey, finding joy in the pursuit of dreams, and being open to new opportunities. Sujata shares her own experience of initially pursuing engineering as a backup plan before ultimately following her passion for acting. She emphasizes the importance of continuous growth, facing rejection, and staying motivated. Sujata also expresses the positive shift in the industry, where artists support and inspire each other, creating their own work instead of waiting to be picked. She finds fulfillment in her art and feels fortunate to live her dream every day, even during challenging times. Sujata took advantage of the pandemic to immerse herself in films, TV shows, and international cinema, learning and gathering inspiration. During this period, she remained productive by writing multiple scripts and pitches for future projects.

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO

Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9
