Ranu Ghosh For the last 11 years, she has been making significant contribution to film making not just in her city of Kolkata, but all over the country. When handling the camera, it is not unusual to see Ranu as the director, often the producer, or the person who has originally conceived the film, and in many cases all four rolled into one. Her forte as a documentary film maker has gained her awards and acknowledgements over the years. She has worked on projects by the BBC, National Geographic, the governments of West Bengal and India, and Marcel Odenbach among others. She has been chosen to show her latest work on change in Kolkata's industrial landscape at the Manifesta Video Arts Festival in Bolzano, Italy in 2008. Her part in the concept, filming and production of Kolkata Monodosis brought in elements that has made it a documentary film working in different layers.

Patrick S L Ghose
Since quitting as a senior executive in the print media industry some 15 years ago to assist a friend making a TV documentary on Bengali playwrights who had used music as an essential element of their work, Patrick has never looked back. He worked as the art department coordinator in Gallenberger's Shadows of Time, as well as on a number of projects under the aegis of Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata. A self-confessed lover-hater of Kolkata, Patrick's love of music also brought him and Christopher Dell together for this project.
Indrajit Das
Indro, as he is called by all who know him, has been a freelance editor for the last 10 years, working on several non-fiction films and documentaries, many of them by award-winning film-makers. It is said that an editor can make or break a film, but with Indro's skills, Kolkata Monodosis is a film that got well-made.
