Kalika is a band of close friends with whom I began experimenting at the start of my filmmaking journey. Over the years, our creative collaboration evolved into a series of projects, including festival stage visuals, live performance recordings, and a music video. Their ethereal blend of rock and roll, infused with deep mystical influences, provided a rich canvas for visual exploration. Just as memorable as the performances themselves was the creative friendship that grew alongside them — a shared spirit of experimentation, trust, and artistic discovery that helped shape some of my earliest work as a filmmaker.
