A chorus story about thespians and filmmakers in one of the most impoverished nations of the world, where a young and thriving population struggles to fulfill their dreams. The film follows a number of characters: actors, directors, musicians, producers… as they work in their film industry and try to progress in their careers and their lives. By doing that we will observe the Bangladeshi society, the role of women, the hopes of a young generation and their compromise with their country to work for the future… Dhaka, like the film industry that gives its name to, is a great permanently unfinished capital of one of the most populated countries in the world ‐with a record figure in density of population that serves as a backdrop to this story of struggling thespians, directors, designers and musicians. All our characters will be choreographed around the shooting of one Dhallywood film. Most of our characters will work in that film or will have some kind of relationship between them. The possibility of participating in this “industry film” represents for most of the characters, a break through in their careers and they have high hopes on it. Our film will witness how Animesh, the director, attempts to make a good film as he tries to break the prevalent idea that ‘all Dhallywood films are crap’. The director is convinced that he can work around the “Dhallywood format” and we will be there to capture his struggle.

Shipwreck is the story of Jahur, Lamu and Rubel, men that work at the ship yards breaking vessels in Chittagong, a coastal province of Bangladesh. This is the story of ordinary Bengali men struggling to raise their families against a backdrop of labor uncertainty, health hazards unknown to us, and salaries that make them the most competitive labor force in the world. Jahur is a cutter, a crafted worker that slices down the ships day and night. He sits at the top of the job positions in the yard. Rubel is younger, one of the many helpers assisting the cutters. He knows that if he misses a day, another youngster will replace him immediately: they are the bottom of the job pyramid. Lamu is older but strong, he is one of those workers that lift and carry steel planks all day. The three of them represent the whole of the man power assembled in the yards. This is their story.
