William McKegg never imagined he would return to India to film a movie when he was backpacking around the country in the 1990s.
Fast forward to 2023, McKegg and his New Zealand crew has shot a short film entirely in Raipur, the capital city of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.
“My experience of India in the 1990s was incredible,” McKegg says. “I wanted to expand it into a sensible short film and so, earlier this year, I sat down and wrote the script.”
