OmniLight Films Production, a Mayapur-based film production company, recently released “Three Nights,” a short film based on the story of Srila Haridas Thakur and the prostitute who was sent to defame him. Directed by Yadava Jivana Das (alias Shyamsundar), a disciple of Indradyumna Swami, the film presents a narrative that combines Krishna consciousness with cinematic storytelling and aims to engage both devotee and non-devotee audiences.
In an interview with ISKCON News, Shyamsundar shared the inspiration, creative process, and message behind his film. Originally from Pune, he moved with his family to Mayapur ten years ago. Although trained in computer science, his passion for videography began during his school years. “I’m not a professional filmmaker—this is just my hobby and passion,” he said modestly.
The idea for “Three Nights” began in August 2023 when Ekadashinath Das, a visiting devotee from Italy, came to Mayapur for his Bhakti Shastri course. Initially seeking only a mobile phone gimbal to record a short video, his conversation with Gaura Karuna Das, Shyamsundar’s brother, quickly expanded into a collaborative effort to create a short film aimed at international film festivals.
