THE CASHEW QUEEN OF PUTTLAM VILLAGE
CLIENT: VISIONFUND
CREATED BY: SCHICKEL STUDIO
Gheeta is a giant.
The Cashew Queen of Puttlam Village tells the story of Gheetha, a young Sri Lankan entrepreneur who's diminutive stature and meek demeanor belies her giant stature in the hearts and minds of all she touches. She amazes me, and it's my hope that our little film has captured a glimpse of her quiet power.
The One Show Merit Award Winner
Our film was awarded a One Show Merit award winner in the Branded Entertainment Documentary category. The One Show is largely considered one of the world's most prestigious advertising awards program.
