This short movie on the back story of the benevolent spirit (Bootha) that is revered by people in the Tulu speaking areas of Coastal Karnataka, was entirely created during the Covid 19 lock-down period. Sitting at our homes we indulged in some self-shooting and recording songs on mobiles. We have used existing footage and minimalist illustrations. The ballad version used in this short movie was the one documented by the well known folk singer the Late Rama Manjeshawara and folklorist Dr. Amrut Someshwar.
