Speaking about the film, director and script writer Bhawani Doley Tahu said it was her maiden venture where she had hired only two professionals and the rest of the cast and crew were all newcomers.
“Mask is about the importance of the use of face musk during Covid19 pandemic. But I saw many underprivileged people in our society using the used and thrown-away face masks during the pandemic,” said Tahu.
“The message of my film, which is only 10 minutes long, is that don’t apply the used face masks,” she said.
“The film also sends the message of proper disposal of the used face masks during the pandemic,” the young film director added.
