Pietro Zuercher, an alumnus of the American Film Institute and award winning Cinematographer shot the film. Originally from Switzerland, he spends more time travelling through continents shooting films - almost back to back! Pietro shares his version of the lucky red seed experience.
"One day I get a call from Anjaly Menon asking me to shoot her Movie - Lucky Red Seeds.
She emails me the script - I read, I laugh, I cry and that’s how the adventure started!

Six months later - I finish shooting a movie in Switzerland early August and 2 days after I’m already on a flight to India! I don’t know exactly where I am going because I just didn’t have the time to get some info... I’m dead tired after a very hard 7 weeks shoot in Switzerland, but as soon I land in Mumbai - this little young lady (Anjaly) is so energetic and enthusiastic that my body refuses to be tired again… I’ll have time after this movie…
We flew the same day to Kerala - starting work rightaway - locations in beautiful Kerala... amazing fields, rivers, hills and the typical houses of Kerala, very nice and fresh inside, but also very very dark. Great locations!
At the same time we start analyzing the script going scene by scene together - finding the right visuals for each scene the right way to visually tell this nice tale.
