MAYA is a curious piece, very raw and immersive. Shot entirely on a mobile phone, it captures the essence of Goan life through the eyes of a Maya girl, whose perspective is both refreshing and thought-provoking. The whole film feels like a glimpse into a stream of consciousness, no clear beginning or end, just moments of her life strung together, which creates an almost dreamlike experience. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the sounds of the environment. It’s not about traditional narrative arcs, but rather an exploration of existence. The practical effects are minimal, relying heavily on the natural beauty of Goa and the girl's unique outlook. It’s distinctive, for sure, and not something you'd stumble upon often.
