I created "The Egg" based on my experience discovering my nonbinary identity and subsequently having to hide from and deal with unaccepting family members. While gender epiphanies (sadly) don't normally come in the form of friendly monsters, I wanted my film to be relatable to others who faced similar problems as I have, and hopefully carry along the message that everything will be okay.

wot if
I am an animator and illustrator currently working on my next film "Katran ki Dukaan" which is an animated short film. I have been interested in this field for almost 15 years while practicing its craft for the past 4. It's been a learning process and I would love to continue making short films that get better and more relatable every time.
