Life Written in my Flute

This short film is about the life of musician Jatinder Parkash. Throughout his career, he has played the flute for films such as “Cooking with Stella” and “Life of Pi” and this short documentary catalogs the ups and downs of his life, his relationships with family and friends and his career as a musician.

When someone like Jeetu plays the flute, his mind, heart and soul are all immersed with his instrument. His flute is not only only an instrument for him but his whole life is written in it.
