Covid Karma

It draws you in and tugs at the heart and mind. Several funny moments and characters that add so much color to our humanity! The shots of vast landscapes and sky remind us of how infinite the universe is. Beautiful cinematography despite the seemingly chaotic heartbeat of the filmmaking process we get to witness. Check it out for yourself and send up warm cheers to Chris and his unique mind! Chris and the people who surround him are eccentric and intriguing in their own right. You find yourself wanting him to win at life in spite of the odds others have judged him on. Chris' perseveres and does just that!

A nice independent film with great visuals. It is a good experience for new film makers and cinema lovers. How to utilise the available locations, set and time to create magic. Especially when you stuck in situations like covid and everyone is struggling. This film gives confidence and encouragement for the new film makers. All the characters are acting so real and the film is like peeping in to their life and watching. Especially the main lead. All the exterior long shots are like great paintings with great colours and nature. The voice over pattern is engaging and it clearly explains a creator and his struggle.

A worth watch.

This film ' Covid Karma' gave me the experience of reading a modern novel. Along with beautiful images, the filmmaker has narrated the whole story nicely through voice-over.

The filmmaker brilliantly used natural and available light sources throughout the movie. I also liked the realistic way of framing. Though the movie runs for around one hour, I have got the feeling of watching a ten mins short film. It is such engaging throughout.

The acting of the main character 'Chris' is too good.

The whole film and its making inspired me a lot. I wish grand success to this film and the crew. I also request them to make many more such impressive films.

The travails of a film maker in a foreign land , in a shaky ground and in uncertain conditions. That too during pandemic. COVID KARMA is a perfect Title.

For Chris could not stop lifting things , Joe could not stop building stone walls and you could not stop filming .

For Joe building stone wall is an obsession. I could identify. The masons of my place Nagercoil are very famous for their skill in building stone walls ( Karungkal ) Every piece of stone is unique and they know how to fit it in perfectly with some small bits to fill and support. While doing that they toss the stone in their hand few times to get the feel of where it will go and take its position. The same way you cut in your shots to fit the scene. The way Chris swinging the hammer and juggle it skill fully. Yes we must keep doing what we are good at. Never stop doing it. Out-come is not important. Like Juan Antonio Samaranch, former chairman of International Olympic committee famously said "important thing is not to win but to participate"

You wanted to make a feature film , but ended up with a documentary. You started Monster of the Forest and shelved it ultimately. But you kept making films

I liked the philosophical ending . While realizing the foibles of Chris , I discovered my weakness and inabilities. The past and future is not that important, living the moment is life.

Chris could not stop juggling with his hammer, Joe could not stop making stone wall. And you could not, cannot and will not stop making films.

A very unusual and interesting movie. The film brilliantly portrays the struggle of a filmmaker during the Covid lockdown. The making is super. Director Biju Vishwanath has once again proved his excellence in film making. All the characters act very realistically and the film feels like a peek into their lives. The way emotions are handled connects the viewer to the film in a unique yet interesting way. The voice over pattern is attractive and the director Biju Vishwanath has made the movie very beautifully. It is a good and excellent movie that everyone should watch because of the variety in the story and the way of presentation.
