Dopamine and The Future of Cinema | Nag Ashwin | TEDxAGI

Nag Ashwin, a prominent south Indian director talks about how the future of cinema is uncertain and keeps changing unexpectedly. For all logical reasons according to him, he was not supposed a director as he hails from a family of doctors and engineers.

In a country like India, where the mobile revolution is at its peak it would be foolish to keep building more theaters as everyone has access to movies on their smartphones. But unlike the popular belief that people no longer want to watch movies in theaters, he considers it a valuable asset that we as a country keep our roots to cinema strong. Nag Ashwin Reddy is an Indian film director and screenwriter from Hyderabad, Telangana.
