On this guest episode, we venture into new territory -- non-fiction films! We are joined by national-award winning filmmaker Samarth Mahajan, director of films like The Unreserved, Kazwa, and the in-making 'Borderlands'.

We talk about Samarth's film school and how he got into making non-fiction films. We also take a deep-dive into some technical aspects of his films like the sound-recording, editing etc. In the end, Samarth also tells us a few interesting stories about how he decided on the background tracks for his films. This and much more on this really insightful episode!
