Ep. 50: We made a Thriller Short Film

Rahib Zaman Season 5 Episode 1

In the first episode of 2026 (and Season 5 of the pod), host/director/cinematographer Rahib sits down with writer/choreographer Beau and lead actress Nira to unpack Happily Never After — their eerie Halloween thriller short. In this special behind-the-scenes episode, they dive into the film’s origins, the choice of a thriller tone, the bold use of the offbeat Bollywood track “Muskaanein Jhooti Hai,” and the real struggles of indie filmmaking. A must-listen for cinephiles, dance lovers, and creatives chasing their next story.
