Arnab Chatterjee of La Martiniere for Boys was filled with pride and joy when the Revenant star Leonardo DiCaprio announced his name as the winner in the Young Filmmakers category at the Texas Ultimate Shorts 2016. The only regret was that he couldn’t be present to collect the awards as he was busy preparing for his Class X examinations. He has also bagged the Honorary Award for Best Director Junior (under 25) Young Filmmaker and the Best of Festival Award for International Shorts Asia Jr at the Wendy’s Awards in Chicago. Competing against 650 directors from 17 countries, Arnab became the youngest winner of the award for his film Vertex Duo. The 23-minute film is the story of a failed singer and an incompetent clerk. The message he wanted to send out through the film is that everyone is born for a special cause. Arnab is planning his next film on the rising intolerance in India.
