Today, was dedicated thoroughly to the “Story” department, so

I would like to elaborate more on the “Story” ingredient of our filmmaking task.

Because that is topping our “agenda” list…

“Story” seems like a short term but ask us what significance it holds..!! It’s the heart of the movie..

Now History says that, “The greatest stories are those that resonate our beginnings and intuit our endings, our mysterious origins and our magical destinies, and dissolve them both into one.”

Well, this is bit hard to digest… so we shall explain it in a simpler form..

Ironically speaking, its quite common that most people know what a story is

until they sit down to write one…!! We have been through that phase too…!!

It aint easy…

One basic fact that is to be kept in mind while thinking about a story is that it’s not the voice that commands the story, it’s actually the ears that are listening to it, that commands… So when one of us starts a story, the others immediately get busy in dissecting it…and its dissected to the core..!!

With story, comes the “story telling” part.. With our experience we have come to a conclusion that, storytelling enlightens or hints at imperfection.

So Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.. The story that we share has to be tattered, imperfect, and a bit disorganized.

So when one person among us finishes telling a story, there comes three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end…

(Morals usually vary from significant to silly and every absurd little thing in between…!!)

All this is done in an instant.. in almost no time.. Our brains work that rapidly..!

And yes, majority of the story concepts that we dig into are genuinely good, but we gotta admit that some are utter crap too…!!!

Also not to forget that, the hunger-nap phase do come and greet us time to time.. but then we are used to those close calls.. we are smart enough to take time out for everything amidst our discussions…

The basic thing we go after while working together daily on multiple tasks is that, we try and make things reach at the extraordinary point, we push things that comes into our hands a little higher up, a little further on towards the heights of excellence…

With this note, we part.. With an assurance of doing all the more work the next day with a lot more vigor and dedication …

We are moving ahead little by-little.. doing our best each day..!!

We believe in being daring, being first, being different, and being just..!
