One More filmmaker goes for crowd funding
MUMBAI: Encouraged by the way the makers of I Am and Sunrise (Arunoday) got, Shivajee Chandrabhushan, who directed the National Award winning film Frozen, has turned to crowd funding for his next project.
Chandrabhushan‘s ‘One More‘ will tap crowd funding through the website indiegogo.com.
The project , a multilingual feature length film, deals with the struggle of an amateur ice hockey team from the Himalayan region of Ladakh in India where they play hockey on frozen ponds. The players nurse dreams of playing hockey in an international tournament.
The film to be made in Hindi, English and Russian will comprise a song in Spanish.
Produced independently by Chandrabhushan, eighty per cent of the film has already been shot in Ladakh. The team aims at collecting $50000 through the website to complete the remaining portion of the film and post-production.
