Tribeny Rai's debut feature film 'Shape of Momo' is set to premiere in Indian theaters on May 29, after a successful run at international film festivals. Rai believes this film represents a pivotal moment for emerging filmmakers in Sikkim and the North East, as local government support fosters a growing arts scene. She expressed hope that the film's recognition will encourage more young people in the region to consider filmmaking as a viable career option. Rai also addressed the challenges women face in the industry, noting that female filmmakers often have to work harder to gain respect and authority on set compared to their male peers. Additionally, she highlighted the increasing acceptance of indie films among Indian audiences, which could lead to greater opportunities for diverse narratives. Rai's work, alongside other independent films from the region, aims to bring unique stories to a broader audience.
