Ghost of Wuhan with Ankit Mishra

I'm back after an unplanned hiatus, bringing you a very interesting interview with Ankit Mishra, all the way from India. Ankit talks about the experience of making and distributing his feature, Ghost of Wuhan, a very personal story about a virologist who, after returning from the lab in Wuhan where Covid was (depending on who you talk to) discovered or created, contracts the virus and embarks on his own journey to figure the disease out - all while suffering its symptoms and maintaining his own sanity, locked up in his home, away from loved ones and friends. As Ankit says in the interview, this is a one-actor film, and in my view a prime example of DIY filmmaking: what filmmakers can do with limited resources and a drive to simply tell a compelling story. Coming to you in October, this interview was recorded in early July.
