The strangely coined film Dead Dead Full Dead is the directorial debut of Pratul Gaikwad, who began his career in an IT company but soon followed his passion for cinema by quitting his job and studying film editing. After moving to Mumbai in 2011, his first industry role was as an assistant editor for Raj & DK's Shor in the City (2010), with Dum Maaro Dum (2011), Jal (2013) being some of the other movies he has worked on. He also directed the short film What Could Be the Name of the Story? (2019). Now, with Dead Dead Full Dead (2024), he makes his directorial debut. The film premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival and was also the opening film at the Yellowstone Film Festival, which took place in Delhi and Mumbai. Currently, Pratul is actively pitching feature film scripts to production houses and participated in the Writer's Ink Script Development Lab in 2024. Excerpts:
Q. What made you go from IT to cinema?
A. After finishing my engineering degree, I joined an IT company in Pune. By day, I was debugging code; by night, I was hanging out with my FTII friends, secretly debugging my life choices. That's when I got my first real exposure to cinema—not just the glitz, but the nuts, bolts, and cameras of it all.
Q. Tell us about working with Raj & DK in Shor in the City.
