What is considered a good film in today's over saturated content market ?
I saw a post by a film critic on 47 Indian language films getting released in a day and how is that justifying the audience going and watching the films.

And that became the germ of this episode-
Our guest for today is the CEO of distribution and film services vertical at the UFO MOVIEZ , Mr. Pankaj Jaysinh.

He has worked closely with the distribution department of Warner bros, Columbia Tri-Star and Sony pictures.

Some revelations:

1) Do people go and watch films because they are good? Do we want to see good story telling or we want other cherries with it?

2) Everyone is here to make monies -so a good film , smaller films gets picked up
Every movie small or big has a space.

4)Has the definition of a good film changed?

5)distribution is getting more and more professional dynamic and hands on

And the road maps that small filmmakers and small films should know before they embark on their journey.

EP 153 DESIGNING YOUR LIFE AS AN ARTIST FT: DANISH HUSAIN`

Niren Bhatt needs no intro. A very successful writer with a range of box office hits from Stree 2, which did 400 cr. plus business, to another hit of the year Munjya. You can google Niren Bhatt and see his writing across genres, many of which you would have heard or seen.

But, more than the box office figures what is interesting to know is how does Niren Bhatt think? Because writing is a thinking process- and the way you think is the way you will structure, the way you will choose the right elements for your story, the right scene perspective, and the way to move the audience; in his case SWAY THE AUDIENCE. 

Suchita digs Niren on multiple levels, and you can't miss the humour and get swayed.

1) Writing across genres.
2) Writing is a thinking process- HOW DO YOU THINK?
3) Maslow's hierarchy and the intent of self- actualization!
4) The detailed Writing process- which has to be fulfilling.
5) The Syd Fields, The Robert Mckees- And the template of screen writing?
6) From playwriting to ScriptWriting.
7) Advice from Gulzar Saab.
8) WRITER'S BLOCK- is fictional!
10)First Draft - VOMIT DRAFT to 15- 16th Final Draft.
11) SCRIPT LITERACY AND BOUNCING BOARDS- Who are you sharing your scripts with, to read- VERY IMP.
12) The rejections, traumas, imposter syndromes.
13) Importance of a DREAM PRODUCER-
14) Market research/ Algorithms- Analysis is a double edged sword?
15) What is it that your producers of Stree 2 and Munjya are DOING RIGHT?
16) The analysis of the elements of genre.
17) PLS DO NOT ASK FOR SO MANY NARRATIONS AND THEN REJECT C, TRAUMAS, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES


Knowing the INTENT and purpose of what ever work you are doing, will drive it in the right direction- in this case MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF SELF- ACTUALIZATION ! And, the moment you know this- you will set a clear direction for your life and your values, your purpose- which is all interlinked with the kind of work you want to do!! Great takeaway. 

Reflect and Enjoy!

EP 152 ON WRITING BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES FT: NIREN BHATT

A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnès Varda, is the book by award- winning film critic Carrie Rickey. 


Rickey traces Varda’s three remarkable careers—as still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. She makes clear Varda’s impact on contemporary figures like Ava DuVernay, Greta Gerwig, Barry Jenkins, the Safdie brothers, and Martin Scorsese, who called her one of the Gods of cinema. And she delves into Varda’s incredibly rich social life with figures such as Harrison Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, Jim Morrison, Susan Sontag, and Andy Warhol, and her nearly forty-year marriage to the celebrated director Jacques Demy.

Suchita talks to Carrie about this most important book on Agnes Varda who defined the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards.

Digs:

1) Varda and her relationships with other Artists. She got to the essence very fast. Her ability to connect with people as a photographer and storyteller was immemse.

2) Transforming from still image to moving pictures to 3 dimensional spaces- almost like a 3 Act of life!!

3) The approach as a filmmaker that was so distinct from her director husband Demy. Her approach was to discover deeper aspects of things.

4) Varda started making movies without knowing anything about movies- without having even have watched many films- and so she found her own language, her own grammar.

5) Opening up to arts, creativity and filmmaking to create a new syntax.

6) Truffaut's non acceptance of Varda as a director and his reviews in Cahiers du cinema.

7) A very imporant difference between the French and the American studios financing movies-

8) How photography taught her to capture the decisive moment!

9) 1958 when her film got into the Cannes festival was she accepted into the community of french filmmakers and new wave filmmakers?

10) The long marriage to another brilliant filmmaker Demy 

11) Varda's relationship with Jim Morrison and his death- and how his funeral was for less than 8 minutes!

12) Varda with Warhol, Susan Sontag, Truffaut. 

13) Scorses's immense admiration for Varda.
