Savannah Warriors (2021)
Natural History Short Film
Synopsis of the film
Savannah Warriors is a film about a tiny yet fierce warrior of the scrublands- The Fan Throated Lizard. It is the first ever film about the ‘Deccan Fan Throated Lizard (Sarada deccanensis)’, a species found in India.
It’s summer, the breeding season of The Fan Throated Lizard. The males run around and climb up elevations to flash their colorful fans, claim their territory, and impress the females around. They get desperate to attract the females and do not tolerate the presence of any other males in their territory. They would do anything to prove their supremacy, even fight with the intruding males. The males can fight to the death if that’s what it takes to emerge victorious. Prepare yourself to witness a lot of action and drama in this film!

Coffee making B-roll
Brewing in Quarantine is a short coffee brewing b-roll that I made with my neighbor who is a professional barista. This video was made just after the Covid-19 restrictions were eased up a bit during the first wave in 2020.
