Welcome!
Words! The primary mean of communication. We don't even 'think' in mind without words.. A word is like a Kaleidoscope! A single word has different meaning provided in which context its been used. You rotate the Kaleidoscope and it gives altogether different meaning! Thats what this assignment made us to see.. Different edges of a word.. This is called a Concept Film.. where each group was asked to roll a dice and the number decides which word from the list you are gonna get to make a movie.. Some people got easy looking word like 'morning' and some got weird word like 'egg' ( n we really got interesting film out of that.)
My group got word 'INDECENT'.. and on this word i built a story...
But behind the story is more interesting! I was supposed shoot this film in a private post office. The place i selected was perfectly suitable for the character of the story.. So a week before i finalized the location for free. The owner was so nice that he gave me his place to shoot for free!
And that nice guy asked for $300 a day before the shoot! Welcome to america! i said to myself and decided not to shoot the film. Rental lights worth $200 were lying dead at my place. I didnt even use a single cable!
But thanks to my group mate Mike that he inspired me to be creative and shoot the film...and here it is the completely changed version which i decided to shoot on the same day at zero budget!(except car rental..that was the first time i drove on LA street!)
Handful of experience!! This is the world of Independent film making...
So this 'Indecent' film really did a decent thing my life and that is, it brought a fighter out of me!
Really guys if you are passionate.. don't give up.. there are many things for that like cigarette, liquor, flirting(which is hard to leave!)..but not your passion...
So this is for all independent and passionate filmmaker!
Lets make films!!!!
