The film was shot in Kongthong village, East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya.
The film follows the families of two married sisters Shidiap Khongsit and Shithoh Khongsit whose children had to stay in Shillong for higher studies as the village school has provision for only up to class VII.
The filmmaker tries to question what happen to the tradition of having musical names in the village when the children leave the village.
Villagers of Kongthong village were exalted on hearing the news and have thanked Doren and all the crew members for their working very hard in making the film.
After the world premiere in Bristol (UK), My name is Eeooow will be screened in other film festivals, film clubs, institutes and universities.
