Soumadeep is an independent filmmaker who started making films by a chance event where he was trying to bring together new talents in music and films and promote them. Having produced the first film Urmi’s Cat which was about the reality of fathers being perpetrators of child abuse, he realised the script that he had written didn’t translate to his vision and there began a new journey of making films.
