The Child Who Directed a Hit Movie: How Old Was the Youngest Director in Cinema History
It is generally accepted that only an adult and experienced person can make a quality full-length film.
However, a young Nepalese man, Saugat Bista, has challenged this stereotype.
Now the young man is 17 years old. However, his directorial debut took place 10 years ago. Then Bista was a 7-year-old child.
The youngest director in the history of cinema
In 2014, Saugat Bista directed the film “I Love You, Dad”, which was over 120 minutes long.
The main character of the film is a widower who wants to fulfill his child's dreams and make him happy.
The film premiered on a December day in 2014.
At the time of the film's first public showing, Bisté was 7 years and 340 days old.
As a result, the boy received the status of the youngest director in the history of cinema.
It is in this capacity that Saugat Bista is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records.
It is worth noting that the work of the young director was highly praised by film experts.
Now the 17-year-old is a member of the Nepal Directors Guild.
For reference
