[A Nickname @ANicknameFilm]

My first name is 'Alka' because my mom said, “I just always wanted a little girl named Alka.” I was the girl of her childhood dreams! The Hindi originated name 'Alka' has multiple meanings such as young; diamond; and 'A Girl with a Lovely Hair' and of course I like my long hair.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support from @CamerAmbassador and their Community Builder's Grant! Filmmaking is tough but having a community of local artists' support is unbeatable.
