Writer-Director Insia Dariwala’s latest flick Cock-Tale won Golden Camera Award in 6th Nashik International Film Festival, NIFF 2014. This Indie film-maker is back with Cock-Tale after award winning Candy Man which won her two Best Director awards in India and was also nominated at the New York Short Film Festival & Barcelona International Film Festival in 2010.
