Bollywood Beats hits the Film Festival Circuit

THE BLOG


Hello World. This is my first post after the completion of the film. I can't believe my first and only post was done in 2006 and we are now complete and going to film festivals with the film!

Bollywood Beats was shot in Dallas and stars Sachin Bhatt (Bombay Dreams, The Ode), Lilette Dubey (Monsoon Wedding, Kal Ho Na Ho), Pooja Kumar (Bollywood Hero, Flavors), Sarita Joshi (Baa Bahu Aur Baby, the Guru), Mansi Patel (Pyar Ke Side Effects), and me. It's an extremely fun and light hearted film that really got audiences laughing when we premiered it at AFI Dallas 2009.

It's been a long journey from the film, from raising money, to casting, to actually shooting (which we did in 24 days), post production, and more. This film has had some major ups and downs, but I can't believe the kindness of people who just believed in the film 
enough to help make it happen. 

We're so excited that we have 4 festivals coming up where Bollywood Beats has been accepted. Our first festival is the Mumbai Film Festival that runs from October 29-November 5 (http://www.mumbaifilmfest.com). Then we go to Fayetville Arkansas for the 504 Film Festival from November 5-8, then NYC for the MIAAC Film Fest from November 11-15, and the St. Louis International Film Festival from Oct 12-22.
