Why Kochi ? KOchi is the new Chennai ? the new hub for malyalam film industry. So with my script I found a space (thanks to valuable help from valuable people) in Fort Kochi.
Fort kochi is an organism which had not changed much in the last 150 years. Enveloped in the shattered glory of the Dutch, Portuguese and English, fort Kochi lives like a woman whose lovers have left her but their love still lingers.
Staying by the shipyard watching unknown vessels make dragon whimpers, inspired me to do so many wonderful things. However the lethargy of a beach holiday spot can get only 10% of the work out of you.
There is the library of visual arts in the pepper house cafe where i spend days watching films and reading random books on film theory and visual communication.
Budget is stringent, People i meet are big, friends are fresh and new, Inspiration is a daily activity, trust is a luxury and people around are survivors.
Fort kochi is a survivors hub. like 'backyard civilization' (https://www.facebook.com/backyardcivil ) claims- a Debtor's prison
