Karishma Mehta: On showcasing art digitally and pages to follow to help your content

Are Reels and Instagram stories the future of films? And how you can share your knowledge on social media

Document this

I’m a film student but am disenchanted with the documentary course I’m doing. Do you think Reels and Insta stories will be a platform for stories of substance in the future?

—Arshita, Via Instagram

Absolutely! Art can be showcased in any format—we at Humans of Bombay tell life stories in 30 seconds! Keep an open mind while pursuing your documentary course; absorb the knowledge and then use that base to create in your authentic voice! Grapple with as much as you can and you will discover more with every new experience.

Shape of you

I’m a 32-year-old medic interested in sharing my knowledge on social media. Can you suggest good accounts to follow that can help me shape my page?

—Rohan C, Delhi

Big congrats on taking the step towards doing more of what you love!

My recommendations:

1. Dr Siddharth Bhargava 2. Dr Malvika Iyer 3. Rujuta Diwekar 4. BeerBiceps (for articulation and positioning)

Good luck!
