New Delhi: Writer-director Keith Gomes’ short film ‘Shameless’ has been selected as India’s official entry at the 93rd Oscars in the Live Action Short Film category.

The 15-minute-long comedy-thriller, which stars Sayani Gupta, Hussain Dalal and Rishabh Kapoor, has a narrative that dives into the theme of loss of human spirit due to technology, news agency ANI reported.

The plot revolves around the life of a work from home professional played by Hussain, who constantly orders food online and wakes up to find himself trapped by an exasperated and apologetic pizza delivery girl, essayed by Sayani.

As the film got a nod for the Oscars race, Gomes thanked the cast and crew of the film. “I have to thank my incredible cast and my crew of National and Oscar award winners. I make films with little funding from family and friends, everyone comes together with loads of love and passion. Couldn`t be more blessed,” he said.

The short film that had released in April last year was picked from a list of five films that included ‘Natkhat’, ‘Soundproof’, ‘Safar’ and ‘Trapped’.
