Soaring through..

After numerous samosas, and discussions over scripts, we finally got down to shooting.. Some rushed to Chandni Chowk, some to Sarojini, some wandered towards hospitals, construction sites while some took to the road. There were yet people who shot with 'actors' following them through buses and well.. some just couldn't catch up with the actors who ran away!!

After a hectic three-day shoot we found our little Edit "khopcha" where life was air conditioned beyond imagination merged with the desire to capture, cut and edit all in one day! Frustrations, last-minute ideas, and hopeful eyes kept up the spirit of Editing! And with a film based on Manto, we had a first Rough Cut preview!

Looking forward to a music video, some thoughts on Terrorism, Manto-ness, and a Graveyard Shift, Films With Wings is proceeding onto its last phase...

The emotions though, and findings are too many to be buried ... and through the films, we hope a lot of voices will splurge out..

Until Then,

Cheers!
