CRIMSON
Written and directed by Munesh Sobha, the short film Crimson was shot on Mini Dv using a 1 ccd sony camera. Crimson sought to explore  the theme of violence in a poetic way. Given that the film was shot of digital video, lighting was an extremely important concern during the shoot. By manipulating carefully the lighting and the exposure Munesh Sobha sought to compose esthetic pleasing imagry, and vivid coulours and texture associated with celluloid film. The making of Crimson required the work of many people it has a long list of cast and crew.
Made with virtually no budget the film was funded by the director himself. In 2005, Crimson was selected to be part of the Official Competition at the Hollywood DV HD Festival, a film festival that showcases works made using the new possiblities of digital filmmaking. " make as much videos as you can " was actually an advice given to Munesh Sobha by Steven Spielberg when the former had the opportunity of meeting the famous director in Montréal in 2002.
