It’s That Time
It’s that time again – time for another production. This one is called “The Embassy,” based on the script from playwright “Bhasa.” The story is an intense display of emotional clashing between Duryodhana and Krishna. Peace and aggression come together.
To pull off this theatrical assembly of sorts in the form of a short film takes much planning and physical work. The pieces to the puzzle will slowly come together on this second film project.
To execute this particular one we arranged to fly Dhruva, playing the role of the antagonist, from Calgary. I met him at the Rosedale Subway after his flight was completed. What a devotional chap he is. Apart from being a good actor there is a certain amount of commitment and reliability in his lifestyle.
We were also thrilled to see Satya arrive after a pleasant train ride from Montreal. Speak about “pleasant,” that’s him. In fact, in the role of Krishna one of the lines he delivers, sarcastically, to Duryodhana goes like this – “so much then for our own pleasantries, come now to my errand.”
And with our first evening on the set (Govinda’s Restaurant) our crew went through a test-run of lighting, framing and blocking. It all looks very promising with this new production. We have an excellent team with Michaela, Kusha, and Krishna Candra on the technical side. We see it as a service to humanity.
May the Source be with you!
