Pseudo Life directed by Amandeep Singh

‘Pseudo Life’ is the story of Ujjwal, an IT professional, steps away from the safety of routine by taking a sabbatical to pursue his passion for photography. But the path he hoped would bring fulfillment is met instead with criticism, rejection, and growing disappointment. Driven by desperation, Ujjwal makes an unexpected—and potentially drastic—decision that propels him into a deeper, more personal journey. Pseudo Life is a reflective exploration of identity, purpose, and the moral crossroads we face when passion collides with reality.

Idea 

This film was born from the idea of duality—the contrast between the life we live and the version we show to the world. That theme became our compass. But staying emotionally honest while navigating that contrast proved to be the real challenge. At times, the story almost slipped away between the writing and execution. But through multiple rounds of rewriting, reshooting, and re-editing, we eventually found its soul—and placed it exactly where it belonged, with honesty and respect.

Journey

The journey of making this film was nothing short of a creative roller coaster—an intense ride of experimentation, discovery, and growth. From the spark of the first idea to watching it take shape on screen, every stage was thrilling in its own way. I feel incredibly grateful to have worked alongside such talented individuals—each one bringing their unique strengths, helping shape the project, and teaching me more than they know. Together, we built something meaningful.

Experience

This experience reinforced the importance of perseverance, attention to detail, and above all, collaboration. With this film, I’ve tried to push myself—to explore new ways of connecting with the audience as a storyteller.
