Without mincing words, film maker Lijo Jose Pellissery has put up a Facebook post, saying that he is making film not for making mony and from today onwards, he would be independent film maker.

His Facebook Post:

“For me cinema is not a money making machinery but a medium to express my vision... so from today onwards.

I am an Independent film maker.

I will use all the money I raise from cinema to fuel better cinema and nothing else . I will screen my cinema anywhere I feel is right because I am the creator of it .

We are in the middle of a pandemic -a war-jobless people - identity crisis- poverty and religious unrest. People are walking a 1000 miles just to reach home. Artists are dying out of depression .

So …these are times to create great art just to inspire people to feel alive. Just to give them hope in some form to stay alive .

Don’t ask us to stop working
Don’t ask us to stop creating
Don’t question our integrity
Don’t question our self-respect
You will terribly loose
because we are Artists
