Dreaming in Delhi - a short film by an 11 yr old

Dreaming in Delhi is a short film I made when I was in 6th grade using my handycam. This movie compares the dreams of children in Delhi. On one side is Minni, who lives in a posh locality in New Delhi and dreams of becoming a fashion designer. On the other hand are street performers Suraj (meaning Sun in Hindi), Akash (meaning sky), Chand (means Moon) and Tara (or star), who just dream about having a house to live in, adequate food to eat and to go to school. To make this film I have visited many localities of New Delhi, ranging from Rashtrapati Bhawan, India Gate, Safdarjung Development Area, the areas in and near Khan Market and the streets of my city chasing the aspirations of young dreamers.
This film supports the right to education for all children making Delhi a better place to dream in and giving hope to those who dare to dream even when they have got nothing.

The movie was good but i think i would have been better if you had more of the commentary in some of the scenes as they seemed to be blank. But the effort put in and the scenes are really good. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a future Oscar winner here. Keep filming and posting
