Director Statement
Ravening (Aamis) is the story of two people whom love finds, and yet with too many boundaries between them for their love to find fruition, it degenerates into self-destruction. The film explores a cold nihilist streak of life and has been designed to provoke, not shock. At its core, Ravening is envisaged as being an immersive experience for audiences, where they slip into and walk in the lovers’ shoes and feel what they are going through.
