The Indian web series space has exploded over the years. As an audience, we have taken to consuming web content like never before, thus in turn spurring creators to come up with more and more content that is desi, original and relatable. Last year too, there was one such web series that we all absolutely fell in love with – Rise by Ultra Shorts. Now we’ve just learnt that this awesome four-part web series has been shortlisted for the prestigious Los Angeles Web Fest (LAWEBFEST) 2018 and we couldn’t have been happier.

For the uninitiated, LAWEBFEST is to web series what Sundance is to films. It’s the oldest, largest and most influential web series festival in the world. The best part is that Rise is the only one from India to make it to the hallowed shortlist comprising 65 web series from over 6500 entries across 38 countries. And this is no mean feat!
