Director's Biography
I am Chalana Perera and I am a Sri Lankan young filmmaker who is an undergraduate at the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. The first film I directed was the "Let Me Go" short film.
Director's Statement
I believe that image alone is not enough to make a film feel in the audience. It requires a vibrant concept as well as appearance, sound, and attractiveness. The first short film I made, "Let Me Go," has a profound conceptual plot. I think it succeeds when the filmmaker creates the film so that the viewer can understand the deep abstract meaning of the film. So I guess I have successfully completed the movie Let Me Go. I leave it to the audience to embrace my film in line with the social and cultural environment of the audience.
