There's something called a Global Mobile Project which, in their words: "...is a filmmaking challenge. Bring together eight international filmmakers to tell a story in under three minutes on the theme of food. Give them complete freedom to interpret the theme within their own cultural context as broadly or narrowly as they wish."
Well, one of the film makers - Amlan - is someone I know briefly and he's from Calcutta. What is of more interest to me here is that Bertie has done the music and song for the film, "Cock-a-Doodle-do". It's the first time he's done something like this, and he says it was a great learning experience. Check it out here, it's streaming video. I liked it. And if you do register on the site, don't forget to rate the film highly!
The development of content for mobile phones is a growing industry and with India poised as probably the largest consumer of the cellular waves, it's not going to be a surprise that Indians will soon enough probably dominate this scene. Well, one can hope so...! We have too many talented people.
The other films are also quite nice to watch. So check them out.
