This is the poster of my first feature film "Five by Four".
I wrote and directed "Five by Four" for NFDC in 2003. National Film Development Corporation (or NFDC) is India's premier state-run venture capital company for the film industry.
Every time I see this poster, I’m filled with a tremendous sense of pride and hope.
Pride because I was able to write and direct a movie just in 40 lakhs Indian Rupees (which is 100K USD)!
Pride because my movie has been shown at the Shanghai Film Festival, the Writer’s Market at Santa Monica and many others.
Pride because I was able to attract the best of talent in the Indian film industry to work on my film viz. Ravi Varman (Cinematographer), and Yuvan Shankar Raja (Music Director).
Hope because, being produced using state-of-the-art technology, my movie can be screened in multiple formats.
Hope because it's readily available for international release.
