Teshna on Bus 338
Teshna, speaking about the film during its premiere, revealed that Bus 338 was conceived during her isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Bus 338 is one of the many stories that I came up with during my isolation, during the Covid time; it was basically what I was going through that particular time,” Teshna revealed.
She shared that writing became a way to maintain her mental health during the challenging months of 2020 and 2021, and Bus 338 was one of the stories that emerged from that period.
“During my isolation, as a way to just maintain my mental health, I wrote a lot, and Bus 338 was one of the stories that I was writing and I wanted to tell the story of what I was going through at that particular time, which was in 2020 and 2021,” she added.
The concept of the bus itself was deliberate. For Serah, a bus represented both confinement and a means of transport, a metaphor for the restrictions of lockdown while remaining relatable to the audience.
“As time goes by, and we are moving away from Covid, you have to talk about something that is more recent,” Teshna stated.
“For me, it was a bit easy because a bus is something that can define confinement as well as means of transport, so it is something that can be relatable to that is why the bus to me stood for that confinement.”
