Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), the storytelling platform, has launched an anthology of short films titled ‘Journeys’, in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki Arena. Facilitated by Lintas CEX, ‘Journeys’ aims to offer captivating narratives. In observance of Women’s Day, a webisode featuring four women filmmakers and Maruti Suzuki India’s executive director, Shashank Srivastava, discusses ‘Journeys’ in a 20-minute roundtable discussion focused on inspirational conversations.
The storytelling platform TTT presents a discussion featuring four women directors – Alankrita Shrivastava, Sonam Nair, Tahira Kashyap, and Tanuja Chandra – hosted by presenter Gaurav Kapur. Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director – Sales and Marketing, Maruti Suzuki India, also participates. The webisode serves as an introduction to ‘Journeys’, featuring four short films directed by the aforementioned filmmakers, to be released on the TTT YouTube channel. Each film explores various aspects of women’s experiences, including sisterhood, freedom, and joy. The discussion aims to delve into the directors’ journeys and experiences in filmmaking. Srivastava shares insights on the “Joy of Mobility” and the evolving role of women in the automotive sector, highlighting the connection between storytelling and Maruti Suzuki Arena’s efforts to empower women.
“Partnering with Maruti Suzuki Arena marks a significant milestone for TTT. ‘Journeys’ goes beyond celebrating the remarkable achievements of these four talented women directors. It’s about amplifying their unique voices and perspectives, showcasing the power they hold to shape narratives and inspire others. We’re excited to work with Shashank and
the team at Maruti Suzuki Arena, along with the powerhouse team at Lowe Lintas to bring Journeys to screen.” Anuj Gosalia, founder and CEO, Terribly Tiny Tales, said.
Targeting a diverse audience, including young adults, especially women (18-35), fans of the featured directors, aspiring filmmakers, and cinephiles, the webisode promises to captivate viewers with its engaging dialogue and thought-provoking narratives. This initiative invites all to join the conversation and experience the unique perspectives shared by the women directors during the roundtable discussion.
“Opportunities to women usually come with conditions attached. With caveats. With a ‘do what you want with this while we do the rest’. Opportunities, so to speak, with the handbrake on. Well, we took it off. And handed control, all of it, to 4 women directors. Not to work on our scripts, but to create their own stories. Direct them in their own way. And then bring it to the table. Imagine what women can do if they are given the opportunity? We got tired of imagining,” Vasudha Misra, creative lead, Lintas CEX, said.
“We, at Maruti Suzuki Arena, are honored to collaborate with Terribly Tiny Tales on the impactful ‘Journeys’ initiative, championing the extraordinary talent and ingenuity of women filmmakers. Through this partnership, we strive to uplift and inspire audiences, recognising the transformative power of storytelling in driving positive change,” Shashank Srivastava, sr. executive officer – sales and marketing, Maruti Suzuki India, said.
