Interview with Raghav Binani
Q1. What made you realize you wanted to be an actor?
I did not know anybody in the industry. I used to Google the names of casting directors, look for auditions on social media, and I visited production houses and offices which worked in the line of production. I worked for one year in the advertisement agency. I’ve loved film since before I can remember, and your studio’s films are among my favorites. Honestly, I got into film editing because of you. Being behind the scenes and being a part of that magic — even in the smallest of ways — is an amazing feeling, and I would be so honored to bring my knowledge to work here. Additionally, I do my best work as part of a team, and watching your behind-the-scenes production videos on your website made it clear that you value collaboration and movement across roles.
Q2. What was your inspiration behind taking the acting industry?
When I was in college, I felt I wanted to entertain people and I felt to give myself a shot. I really loved watching films so I thought I would become an actor.
Q3. What kind of genre of films works well in the market especially in the present scenario?
I think a hero who is larger than well if you are looking in that perspective. Also I think family drama and comedy.“Having worked with film crews in the past, I’m well versed in interacting with a diverse array of personalities and know how to tailor my communications to different types of people. I like to be transparent and avoid miscommunication at all costs, so I try to have all important conversations in person, and I jot down any key takeaways at the end to ensure we’re on the same page. Also, in the fast-paced world of film, I find that you need to be ready for anything, so my phone is on me 24/7. That way, anyone, anywhere can get to me if they have a crucial need.”
Q4.How do you promote your film so that people watch it?
The marketing does most of the work. Making the posters and promoting it. But I definitely share it on my social media. So that people watch it
Q5. What advice would you like to give young filmmakers?
“I did not go to a film school I went to the film. Be practical and extraordinary as well as unique. I just love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It combines so many genres — sci-fi, romance, comedy, drama — in a really clever, memorable way. The films that matter to me are interesting and creative, but also enjoyable and accessible. Great films need to appeal to a lot of people so that they can have an impact, and I feel like Eternal Sunshine really did that. I can watch it again and again and keep discovering new things.”
Q6. Where do you see yourself in five years?
.
“Once I’ve completed the production assistant internship I’m currently doing, I’m excited to build my skill set as a junior production coordinator for your organization, learning everything I can from your expert team. Over time, I’d like to work my way up and diversify my knowledge — I’m really interested in learning about video editing, specifically. Ultimately, I want to be a producer, but until then, I want to keep moving forward and using my creativity to support great films.”
