This project is taking form in a slow and very flexible way. Going to Tamil Nadu (South India) to serve needs to accept that what ever is planned never really happens as planned… You have to adapt on a day-to-day basis to the urgent needs that are presented to you. It is also a humble action of being with the poors with no pretension to change their fate but only to testify the brotherhood and compassion that is possible between humans. |

It is undeniable that Asian cinema has indeed suddenly caught on the Western world's attention. Regardless whether Hollywood is making bad movies or not, Asian cinema has always had a strong sense of its own cinematic identity. The fact that Asian cinema is much more accessible than before allows more people to appreciate the possibilities of Asian cinema, not only stylistically but the fact that they create ART - with less money, in less time, (and arguably more talent) than their Western counterparts. |
