Debesh Mehrotra

Film Maker

It may seem unusual to see someone front and center among our contributors based on just one piece from five years ago, but only if you haven't read it! Deb is an exceptional storyteller with a unique perspective – PWM can only wish he might bring us more someday, but he is a busy man Debesh is a maker of short films from India, ranging from a narrative coming-of-age tale like "Squeaky Shoes That Chase Lost Souls" to video essays about his fandom experience and insight into the storytelling of New Japan wrestling. To avoid copyright strikes, he uses cartoons he draws himself (basically storyboard frames) to illustrate the New Japan video essays In one case, rather than make a video essay, he brought a set of those cartoons (about the oddball kick-a-thon between Kota Ibushi and Taichi in 2020) to us to accompany his written essay, rather than a video essay
