I am not sure why have I preserved this for twenty two years.
I am not sure why have I uploaded this on my blog, now.
I am also not sure how long I am going to preserve this.

A few months back I had approached Mr. T.A. Srinivas of Chitrabharathi, to distribute my Tulu digital film SUDDHA (The Cleansing Rites) in Mangalore. Tulu films have a history of just over thirty five years. On an average, one Tulu film is being made every year. In the two districts in which Tulu language is spoken, Mangalore is the biggest center for such films – followed by Udupi and Putthur. A four weeks run in each of these center is enough for a Tulu film to be considered as successful. If the production costs of the movie is kept to the minimum and if it is intelligently publicized, Tulu films do recover their money. Some producers even swear that profits can be made. Srinivas is from Mangalore. He has made a career out of distributing the Kannada films of Dr. Rajkumar in Coastal Karnataka. His love for his native Tulu language and his fascination for the film production bug, has seen him venture into the making of a couple of Tulu movies which, by his own confessions, were ju...

My Experiments with an Alternate Screening System

At 1.00 A.M this morning, I had one of the strangest screenings in my life. An audience of around 650 Tulu speaking hotel laborers watched my Tulu digital feature film, SUDDHA (The Cleansing Rites) at the Vishweshwaraiya Auditorium, Matunga run by the Karnataka Sangha, Mumbai.

Most of the management staff as well as the labor force in these hotels are migrants from the Tulu speaking coastal belt of Karnataka. Over the years many of these hotels have graduated to being Beer Bars and are often kept open, till late in the night. The Karnataka Sangha, apart from being responsible for thought provoking programs relating to music, literature and theater, also caters to the entertainment needs of these migrant hotel workers, by letting out its premises to e...

'Hear O, Mahatma' Poster (Can be used on an as it basis under CC) Naveen Sunag, Filmmaker, UK (26-09-2024) It is a film one should not miss watching. The content is remarkable, weaving a powerful narrative that resonates deeply. Thoughtfully composed shots and a complementary sound design make it stand out. I found myself captivated by the beauty and depth of the storytelling. Shrikanth Prabhu Filmmaker Bengaluru, Karnataka (26-09-2024) The A I tools you have chosen are perfect and appropriate for our times. The crumbling bent, distorted lines, especially the verticals are true mirroring of the decay and rot that has set in the society. At times the graphics in the background came close to reminding us of the Swastika !! No other country/society can understand this filth you have stirred to touch our conscience. You have used a surgical blade to highlight the plight of the humans crushed in the crossfire of caste, class and the dirty acts of the rogues calling themselves pol...
