“Shocked, relieved,” Says Director Shaunak Sen
MUMBAI, (ANI) – Shaunak Sen’s directorial ‘All that Breathes‘ made it to the final nominations list at the 95th edition of the Academy Awards.
Expressing happiness over the news, Shaunak wrote, “We’re all shocked, relieved and discombobulated. Deepest, most heartfelt thanks to our characters, the whole film team, and collaborators.”
In his note, he added, “We’re all at a slight loss for words – but the main thing to note for now is that this only happened because everyone working almost moved worlds to somehow make the film reach the finishing line. I’m still wrapping my head around it.”
As ‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ bagged a nomination for Best Original Song and ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ got nominated in Documentary Short Subject category, Shaunak also extended best wishes to the teams of the respective films.
“Congratulations to all the other wonderful docs nominated! And to Elephant Whisperer and RRR,” he concluded.

I just watched a very short interview at Democracy Now, featuring Shaunak Sen and Amy Goodman. I am so impressed, so moved , it’s beyond words. I haven’t seen the movie All That Breaths yet but I would like to contact Mr. Sen or those two brothers in Delhi working on those kites. If anyone could provide me with their physical address or email address I would be so very grateful and delighted. I’m not in any social media , I’m in the USA and time to time I would like to send them a hand written card or a small check just to touch and be a tiny invisible part of this magnificent project or effort.
