Submitter Statement
Based on my repeated experiences of pending payments and feeling sheerly helpless dealing with unfair film producers Full & Final was born out of outrage. This short film and the journey of making it turned out to be immensely cathartic and wonderfully satisfying.
I wanted to speak about an everyday injustice with a dark-comedic tone. What happens when a "nice" man decides to "get tough" to get what is rightfully his? He ends up in a bigger mess made worse by his overthinking self-doubting temperament. Along with the comedic narrative, the film also brushes upon class, money-driven privilege and morality-driven anxieties as themes.
Sohit Khanna works as a Screenwriter & Creative Director in Mumbai. He has worked as a commissioned writer for long-form fiction content for some of the most reputed Indian studios namely Red Chillies, Endemol Shine & Jar Pictures. He was part of the writers’ room at Drishyam Films and Disney-India as a fiction writer. His previous short film Spellbound commissioned by LXL Ideas, a horror-comedy was selected for Chicago International Children's Film Festival & Sharjah Film Festival among others. Currently, he is trying to make his debut feature film which like the genre of the film is turning out to be a dark comedy.
