1 of 5 films created for an innovative awareness campaign funded by the Sundance Institute in association with the Gates Foundation, Masterchef by Ritesh Batra (Director of 'The Lunchbox') is a simple but elegant story of poverty, gumption and the power of dreams.
The project, the Sundance Institute Short Film Challenge, is a mixture of commissioned work and a film contest, dedicated to “inspire discussion, shift perception and dismiss stereotypes of poverty and hunger.”
Sundance and the Gates Foundation are inviting filmmakers the world over to participate by sending in short film submissions. 5 winners will be selected, each receiving $10,000 and a trip to Sundance 2015 where their films will be screened.
