In the words of Debutant Director, Screenwriter and Actor Vishal Malhotra, “This is a proud moment for India and us Indians, as the World’s First NFT funded film is coming from our country. The entire film industry is very excited about it. As it is my debut direction, it was a great experience to learn and understand how difficult it is to hold the torch of such a big responsibility. Directing a film is a very subjective thing as you are literally showing the audience how you see the world through your own lens. And the way I see _‘ILM’_ is that it involves happiness, grief, trauma, fear and struggle. And I hope to convey these feelings to the audience and wish that they will feel these emotions just as I did while I was directing it.”
Several well-known faces in the film industry will be a guest appearances. The grand premiere is on the 22nd of May. The film will be released on an OTT platform.
