U Turn

saw this oliver stone film on tv last night. decided lifes gotta take a turn sooner rather than later. no prizes for guessing why i am calling this kukipop. Its been a crazy day. I got a call saying the stock market is down. My driver called in sick. I suspect he has gone to watch the ind/aus tie as they are giving away the tickets free. Who cares about cricket. Aus are 33 for 1 as i write. Go Pathan!

Opinions are like butterflies. Beautiful to hear but gone in a few seconds. Empty echoes breaking their hearts on the wall. Damn this is a good idea. Vent your heart out but who is reading anyway.

till the next post.

At 1001am exactly sixty seconds after sales open the selling agency smugly says only rs 5000 and rs 10000 tkts available pls leave your phone number or come here with cash. 5 minutes later a smart alec calls and says you can get as many rs 1500 tkts you want if you are willing to pay rs 3000. why would any indian fan pu...

E = MC2. The Relativity theory of Film Funding.

You don’t have to be Einstein to make a film. Find a story. Not too difficult as DVD stores and the friendly neibhourhood pirate are always around Get some actors together. Walk down New Link Road (Mumbai’s riposte to Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles though the Marriott is a far cry from the Beverly Hills Hotel) register your script and sell your idea to a producer. Pack your bags and go off on a long holiday with the actors. Remember to pack a camera with some film stock. Come back when you are done shooting and you might have a film. It seems the streets are paved with film stock with stories and talent performing live on the sidewalks waiting to grab their share of the spotlight. Producing a film seems to be the mantra for big bucks and glory these days. If you park yourself in the Barista situated in the back of Lokhandwala, a busy Mumbai suburban area, you are likely to find a film producer on every table. Actors, directors, writers, cinematographers, production managers, financier...
