I work in a PSB. Since college I wanted to make films. When I got the job I thought okay, stable income first, meanwhile I’ll keep watching cinema, learning slowly, and after few years I’ll try making something.

Now 8 years are gone.

Recently I don’t know what happened but filmmaking is constantly on my mind. During work, after work, before sleeping. I even wrote 2 short film scripts in the last few months and for the first time I actually feel like shooting them instead of just thinking about it.

But I genuinely have no idea where to start.

No contacts, no film background, nothing. I can probably go and shamelessly ask people for help, that’s fine. But the thought in my head is just — what if I’m not capable of doing it at all?

Posting this in the Ahmedabad subreddit because one of those short films, I want to shoot in Ahmedabad and the other one in Jodhpur.

Anybody here started late or from a completely unrelated career?

Posting this in the Jodhpur subreddit because one of those short films, I want to shoot somewhere near Jodhpur. So also wanted to ask — are there any people here into filmmaking/cinematography/editing/acting or anything related to this stuff?

Recently bought a 207 sq yard house near DPS School, Veluk village, Surat for around ₹75 lakh. Built-up area is not very big, but honestly more than enough for my family if we ever decide to shift there.

I actually bought it as a long-term investment. I don’t live in Surat currently, just visited the area for 2 days, really liked the vibe and property, so went ahead with it.

Now just curious — was it worth it at that price? Anyone familiar with that side of Surat and future growth there?
