Previous Event Highlights
Saie Surendra
Film Director
Independent Film Curse of the Influencers, Directed by Saie Surendra, Born from SHY Films Events, Hits the Festival Circuit
SHY Films is delighted to celebrate the success of Curse of the Influencers, an independent film directed by Saie Surendra, which originated from our Soho networking events. The film’s talented cast and crew first connected at one of our SHY Films gatherings — a space designed to bring together creative professionals from across the industry to collaborate and inspire one another.
In 2024, Curse of the Influencers premiered at a SHY Films event, giving our community the very first glimpse of this bold and thought-provoking project. Since then, the film has continued its journey on the international festival circuit, earning acclaim for its compelling storytelling and standout performances under Saie Surendra’s direction.
This achievement perfectly reflects the spirit of SHY Films events — fostering genuine connections that spark meaningful collaborations, and celebrating the creative projects that are born within our vibrant community.
