New FilmMaking Team
Imaginations Ink & CineNirvana
The following are pictures from our different shoots in East India,
we had to cancel two of our projects because in one area the rebels declared
(right before we went) that if anyone entered that area they would be killed.
The other shoot was on a stick dance, but two of the main dancers got in a
stick
fight and got banged up pretty bad... so we have to cover that one later :-)
******* Chandankyari

Vikrant and I - before and after the shoot
I told Vikrant that it would make my day if before we left I could get a picture
of me with a few of the post-drag-dancers from the show :-)

We just managed to escape the area as the lightning started, before the rain
storm...
