Filmmaker Statement

I always wanted to explore the real life perspective of folklore and mythological tales. How their occurence, though simple yet unheard of can consist of the most uncommon happenings. What meets to the eye can only be the partial and incomplete narrative of a tale. That way any story has multiple perspective. We grow up listening to stories with larger then life characters, yet the actuality of it happening in real life is always worth to witness by one’s own eyes. The idea is to bring the story to be seen from all aspects for its truth. The surreal overlapping between real and the divine is the crux of Lembi Leima. It is an account of two sides of a story, a woman presumed as a bad omen for a village and after a night, goddess for the other. It also tells a tale of human greed and perseverance with an ultimate fate.
