Detailed Description

The project is based on the Ventriloquist show and their performance on the stage, how their lively act gives life to the puppet. Their art is so natural and perfected by rigorous practice that anyone who watches the show tends to believe that the puppet is actually alive and talking. This is the power of ventriloquism. Ventriloquism as an art dates back to the Egyptian era, where puppets were used to represent God's voice by the priests, and later it evolved into the entertainment show. The film attempts to find the deep emotions and attachment of a kid with the surroundings around him. He wanted to see play everywhere and try to believe in his own acts. After watching the show of ventriloquism, how did he initially react to it, and what assumptions did he make in his mind? The child's heart is innocent; he tries to believe that the puppet could actually talk and become his friend. The film expresses the state of mind of such kids who get influenced by the ventriloquism and think that the puppet is actually talking.
