Litfests, launch events are a passe: Author of 28 Jobs 28 Weeks 28 States promotes book through a trailer

The traditional format of putting forward a story to the audience, at least when it comes to fiction writing, involves the author penning down his work and launching the book through an open platform. In most cases, authors choose to launch their books either at specially organised launch events and literary fests or directly launching the book into the market and promoting their work via social media platforms.

However, new age authors are finding innovative ways to reach their audience by introducing their literary pieces through creative channels. Author Jubanashwa Mishra is one such young writer who has taken up a unique way of introducing his books to the readers. The written piece has been brought to readers through a visual teaser. Yes, just like a movie teaser that is launched before the film, he has shot a teaser conveying the synopsis for viewers/readers.

Coming from an engineering background, Mishra undertook an awe-inspiring journey with the hope of finding the love of his life. Sharing the story of his journey through a book titled 28 Jobs 28 Weeks 28 States, Mishra talks about a crowd-funded expedition that he undertook. The journey was spread across 28 weeks through 28 cities, working through 28 jobs. 

In the trailer, the protagonist is seen unclear and confused about his life's true passion. Caught between the ideas of staying changing jobs, pursuing his dream of writing or just quitting, he also finds that the love interest of his life parted ways to a new life, leaving him heartbroken. It is then that he decides to take a road trip that was set to change his life.

Through the tough journey, the central character is seen performing tasks that he has never done before. Does he finally get her? Does this liberating life experience help him understand his true passion for life? Only the book can tell. Through the trailer, viewers get a glimpse into the book.

The music for the trailer is given by Khirod Subodh, the background song has been sung by Humane Sagar, lyrics and dialogues written by Ronak Sharma, directed, edited and DOP managed by Happy, voice over done by RJ Anil, RJ Komal and it stars Subhasis Sharma, Sushma, Alok Das.
