Kishore Tummala on the red carpet during FOG Movie Fest 2017
FREMONT, CA: Kishore Tummala, a New Jersey-based software
engineer, made his first film and won the “Best Short Film” award at FOG 2017.
Titled “I Can’t Breathe”, the film tells the story of a young African-American
man who has recently won a basketball scholarship and has plans to propose to
his girlfriend. Kishore is the writer, Director and Producer of that film.
During a routine traffic stop while riding in his friend’s
car in the passenger seat, a police officer shoots and kills him. His
distraught mother seeks forgiveness and reconciliation as a solution, rather
than revenge.
On September 22, the film opened at the Laemmle Theater in
Pasadena, California. Kishore aims to get the film noticed by members of the
Academy of Motion Pictures (they run the Oscars) and entered into competition.
