the people behind
komal keshran
co-founder, head editor
Komal is known for loving poems, plants and plays, but was a film-lover before any of those things came into the picture. Komal founded Orange Blush Zine in 2020, and decided to develop 3shotcine in 2024 as a new branch of their passion for community-driven digital zines. They hate the word cinephile, and love David Fincher flicks.

shekinah louis
writer
Shekinah is a 22-year old creator and poet, who strongly holds to the belief that there is no such thing as a bad film. If you've ever come across a "terrible" movie that has made you laugh — it has fulfilled its purpose! Following a passion that bloomed during her days at The Actors Studio by klpac, as well as the opportunity of being cast as an extra in a local Netflix movie (a fact Shekinah will announce to you within minutes of meeting her), she is confident that some of our greatest films are the ones forged on local soil.
zeffrey
artist
Zeffrey or sometimes known as Mike/Michael does freelance art commissions, painting mostly character based works in a pseudo-classical style he has been cultivating since he was in high school and recently adopting a more modern painterly style. When watching kino on the down low, he loves analysing and finding meaning in cinema he watches. His favourite movies to analyse are 70's-90's Soviet Russian cinema which are often clouded in obscure metaphors and difficult-to-translate philosophical dialogue.
