Hey friends, nenu Sony! Ikkada nenu miku chala important topic share cheyali: rejections ni ela handle cheyyalo, especially filmmaking lo. Nenu na journey ni share chestanu. If you’re an aspiring filmmaker, nenu chappinappudu neeku kuda chala use avuthundi.
Naa Filmmaking Journey Yela Start Ayindi
Nenu camera theesukoni first time choodinappudu, adi old digital camera. Na uncle naaku gift icharu. Nenu 16 years old undi, storytelling gurinchi chala interest vundi. Movies chusi, naku anipinchindi, “Nenu kuda na stories create cheyyali!” And ala, naa journey start ayindi.
Nenu short films chesi friends tho start chesanu. Weekends lo kalisi brainstorm chesi, shooting cheseyam. Raw ga undi, kani mana passion undi. Nenu anukuntuna, “Nenu correct path lo unta!” Kaani, naaku teliyadu, road ante chala bumps unnayi.
First Rejection
As I grew up, filmmaking ni serious ga teesukodani ki decide ayanu. Film school join ayanu, cinema world lo immerse ayanu. First big opportunity ochina appudu, nenu na short film ni local film festival ki submit chesanu. Chala excited and nervous ga undi, audience reactions gurinchi anukuntuna.

But guess what? Naku rejection ochindi! Festival nenu email pampinchindi, chaala entries vachayi, and nadi select kaaledu. Aa time lo anipinchindi, world crash ayindi laga. All those late-night edits, friends tho chesina laughter, hours spent shooting… “Is this really for me?” ani anukunta.
Rejections Ni Ela Accept Chesi Learn Aiyali
Few days taruvata, sulking chesi, naaku oka realization vachindi. Rejection ante journey lo part! Filmmaking lo kaani, life lo kuda. Nenu perspective change chesanu. Rejection ni failure laga anukovaddu, learning opportunity ga choosukovali.
Nenu friends, mentors nundi feedback teeskuni, na film bagane chudandi ani adiganu. Vallaki na film gurinchi chappina areas for improvement chala help chesayi. Hurt feel avvadam kaani, grateful feel aiyanu. Constructive criticism is gold for filmmakers.
Fire Ni Alive Ga Petti Undali
Fresh mindset tho, aa rejection naku stop cheyyaledu. Nenu back to the drawing board ki velli new project mida work chesanu. Storytelling meeda focus chesanu. Pretty visuals kaadu, audience tho emotional connect undali ani anukuntuna. Nenu naa next short film ki heart tho pettanu, all my learnings apply chesanu.
Nenu ee film ni chala festivals ki submit chesanu, bigger ones kuda. Nenu rejection ni prepare avvadaniki ready aiyanu. And guess what? Naku malli rejection!
Resilience Build Cheyyali

Initial ga disappointment anipinchindi, kani a disappointment naku consume cheyyaledu. Naku aa energy ni next project lo channel chesanu. Different genres, styles explore cheyadam start chesanu. Storytelling techniques, camera angles, editing styles ni experiment chesanu. Every rejection became a stepping stone, resilience build cheyadam lo.
Journey lo, vere aspiring filmmakers tho kalisi, similar challenges face chese varu. Oka small community create chesanu, mana struggles, successes share cheyyadam. Ee support system chaala important. Mana victories ni celebrate cheyyandi, rejections ni handle cheyyandi.
Persistence Yela Undali
Nenu na work ni festivals ki submit chesanu, rejection tho paatu acceptance letters kuda choosthunnanu. Chala thrilling! Oka na short film local festival ki select ayindi, hard work ki validation laga feel aindi. Audience applause naku chala anandam ichindi.
Kani acceptance kuda success guarantee kaadu anipinchindi. First screening ki taruvata, mixed reviews vachayi. Some nachchayi, vere constructive criticism ichaaru. Ekkada ardham aindi: not everyone will resonate with your work. And that’s perfectly okay!
Naa Voice Ni Finding
As I continued to grow, naku ardham aindi, na journey unique. Naa experiences, culture, and perspective stories ni shape chesayi. Family struggles, everyday life in Telangana gurinchi stories pettali anukuntuna. Naa roots ni embrace chesanu.
Naa voice ni find chesanu, work lo clarity vachindi. That’s when things started to click. Naa stories ki recognition vachindi, technical aspects ki kaadu.
Rejections Ni Fuel Ga Convert Cheyyandi

Ippudu, nenu ikkada unnan, aspiring filmmaker who faced countless rejections but learned to embrace them. Each setback naku resilience, persistence, and finding my voice ni teach chesindi.
So, fellow filmmakers andariki, don’t let rejection discourage you. Use it as fuel to push yourself harder. Supportive community tho kalisi, feedback teeskuni, most importantly, keep creating. Remember, every great filmmaker faced rejection. It’s not the end of the road; it’s just a detour.
