Pooja shared, “It’s a stunning honor to have a place in the stellar lineup of cinema at NZIFF. The festival is a great outpost of awe, discovery, and experimentation. I am thrilled at the prospect of a new audience watching the series halfway across the world, and participating in its ideas.”
Neil Pagedar shared, “It has been a hallmark of science fiction to create alternate worlds so we may better understand our own.
It’s a true privilege to showcase a uniquely Indian sci-fi series to our first New Zealand audience at the NZIFF. This is an extraordinary corroboration of our dreams.”
Anand Gandhi who produced the show, shared, “That OK Computer is resonating with a global audience is very reassuring for me, and encourages me to continue facilitating new and courageous creators.”
