A LETTER TO HOPE
A short film on life and death during the lockdown written and directed by Souvid Datta.
Compiling filmmakers' work from across the world, 'A letter to Hope' is inspired by real-life correspondence sent by key-workers, parents, artists and everyday people during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown.
The film was directed under quarantine, while isolating with vulnerable people. Government guidelines on social distancing were respected at all times.
