We want to first thank ZERO for pitching our Feature Film Campaign.
Short Summary
Remember when we see certain films and think they could have been made better.
Remember how we always think certain Indian films are more about song and dance and not much about story.
Remember how new age films are being made in India and are changing the Film Industry like never before.
And lastly remember we are yet to make one good non-studio Indian film outside India, that will make India take notice.
Yes? Read on.........
The Producers of CODE (Working Title) are making a Hindi Feature Thriller for Indian and International markets, a brief outline of which is as below:
Four highly skilled, Indian commandos are on a mission to kidnap an elusive Terrorist TARIQ from New York City and transport him to India. As the mission moves into motion, over a span of 18 hours, the four face death and the toughest odds of their life when everything they worked for - country, honor, family, trust and humanity - are about to be lost. Indian Government failed to capture Tariq 6 times in the past. Will the four commandos be lucky the 7th time or will they fail India again?
Here's the deal...we're looking to raise money that will go a tremendously long way in securing the Equipment, Logistics, Capital, Cast we'll need to produce our Low Budget Feature film. With our Cast, Crew, Script and your help, we believe we can bring this exciting piece of cinema to life! Join us, won't you?

In exchange for your help we're dishing out on-screen credits, a VIP seat at our Premeire in USA and India, Official merchandise, and even a walk on role in the film!

The Impact
A good Indian film made by NRI Filmmakers will further usher in good films in the NRI circuit, which will connect us with the Indian Film Industry and make it more global.
We have most of the talented Hindi-speaking Cast and Indian Film crew from USA, coming together in this film, which will show an emerging crowd of talented artistes in the Entertainment field in USA.
To see the Production's capability, check out the Trailer/Full Film of our Hindi Short "BACK UP" directed by - Eshwar Gunturu.

Risks & Challenges
Like any other business, Filmmaking is also risky. In low budget films, the risks are greater if we have too many locations, expensive actors, costume changes. We have none of these. This film is set in a house for 70% of the film, the actors we have are a combination of local talent and known Bollywood actors who are not expensive. And lastly the whole film takes place over a course of a day, so no costume changes occur. And as this film is a thriller, we have very limited songs, so as not to break the momentum of the film. And lastly the script is in itself tight and gripping, making sure audiences stay interested in the film.
Even if you can't squeeze a few pennies to help our film, you can still help us spread the word! Share our campaign on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, anywhere you hang online. Every bit makes a difference!
And lastly a big "Thank you" from all the humble ZERO's out there in the world who want to make a difference ... :)
