Selected: Indigo Moon Film Festival, Independent Shorts Awards (Best Film Noir), Vancouver Int'l South Asian Film Festival, Hollywood Verge Film Awards, Blow-Up Arthouse Film Fest, LA Neo-Noir Film Festival INDIE SHORTS MAG: "Saraswat seems to be the mastermind here, carefully showcasing not only communal differences, but also differences in class and consciousness. By capturing the collective, xenophobic and Islamophobic conscious of society, ingeniously engineered through a dystopian narrative style, he creates an interesting short."Richard Propes, THE INDEPENDENT CRITIC: "Saraswat has crafted a story that vividly tells an involving, engaging story that rings true of the current political climate in America while being set firmly within a more idyllic time and place."UK Film Review: "Visually impressive and laden with poignancy and political themes, Traitor takes a running punch at the volatile nature of American society. Using the foundational elements of it's cinema to highlight the tragedy and irony of it all, the short film provides a glaring warning sign for viewers whose passivity gets called into question."
