World Premiere
Directed by: Vaibhav Parashar and Peter Tsaconas.

When four unsuspected employees randomly get an invitation to a private seminar, with one of the wealthiest businessmen in town, they jump on the opportunity. With absolutely zero knowledge on what to expect, they gather their best attire, and wait for a chauffeur to be picked up. When they arrive at the destination, everything turns for theworst as they find themselves trapped with nowhere to go.

At present, he’s making films that matter, and hopes to bring a change in the society through the medium of film making.
