WHEN YOU GET TO THE QUESTION YOU CAN’T ANSWER, YOU KNOW YOU’VE REACHED THE HEART OF THE MATTER…
Event Overview
Special Invitation:
You and a friend are cordially invited to a Special Focus Group Screening and Q and A of my new docu-series, “The Unanswerable Question”.
About a year ago, I flew to India to attend a wedding and teach a workshop to a group of Indian actors in Mumbai (Bollywood). While in the airport on the way there, I had a strong intuition that I should film the process. I called my contacts in India from the airport and asked that a documentarian meet me upon arrival. When I met him, I told him that I didn’t know what we would be filming, but we would do what I asked of my students, which is to follow my own unanswerable question in the process. We did just that, and upon cutting it together, we realized we had a 30-minute proof of concept for a new docuseries on our hands.
Since that time, we have developed the series and will be filming all 8 episodes of Season One in India in late 2025. Because we would love insights from the acting community both inside and outside the ZBS walls prior to shooting, we would love for you to come with an actor friend who is not currently enrolled at the studio.
We will be screening this at ZBS and space is extremely limited so please RSVP for you and your friend ASAP on the form below.

Based in Mumbai and open to global collaborations, he has worked across languages including Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam as a director, writer, cinematographer, music director, editor, and actor.
He was an integral part of the Academy Award-winning documentary Smile Pinky (available on YouTube) and later served as the cinematographer for Smile Pinky 2, which won Best Non-Fiction Documentary at the Goa International Film Festival.

A long-time collaborator with the global NGO Smile Train, KK LORD BOSCO considers documentary filmmaking a personal necessity — a space for emotional and artistic truth. “For me, documentary filmmaking is no longer just a creative choice — it has become a personal necessity. While I continue to build my career in the commercial film industry, I consciously commit to creating at least two documentaries every year. These projects bring depth and meaning to my journey as a storyteller. They allow me to explore life from new perspectives, challenge my own understanding of the world, and strive to grow as a more empathetic and self-aware human being. I find great purpose in connecting with people, learning their stories, drawing inspiration from their truths, and passing that inspiration forward. In many ways, documentary filmmaking has become a form of therapy — one that keeps me grounded, curious, and deeply human.”
