The story follows a motel receptionist short on money who makes extra income selling hidden-camera footage of guests, then finds himself torn between self-preservation and intervening after filming a woman who appears to be a trafficking victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe short has already made the festival rounds, screening at more than 20 international events, among them the Oscar-qualifying Palm Springs International ShortFest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always loved short films as they are the first stepping stone for a director to test their storytelling style and give an actual practice to them of shooting a story,\u201d Kashyap said. \u201cContinuing the same, this is our effort to showcase some excellent short films, curated by me and presented by filmmakers whose work I look up to. We\u2019re glad to begin with \u2018Incognito\u2019 by Ravi Muppa, and very hopefully that it\u2019ll be liked by the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201c\u2018Incognito\u2019 is gripping and beautifully atmospheric, a true blue genre short with an out of the box ending. Congratulations to Ravi and his team and I\u2019m so happy that we can present this to the audience,\u201d Motwane added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/asia\/anurag-kashyap-oscar-short-incognito-feature-film-1235837618\/\">revealed by <em>Variety<\/em><\/a>, plans for a feature-length version of \u201cIncognito\u201d are already underway, with Invention Studios joining Flip Films and Campfire Studios as co-producers.
