About the film

The magic of giving tells the fascinating story of a poor boy who wants to enjoy all the luxuries of life and of a sympathetic father who sacrifices his Child's wish after seeing the suffering of the less privileged only to discover how magical giving can be.

Giving is such a wonderful thing and there are so many ways to give.

What is the best thing you have given to someone else?

This film explores real-life relationships between a father and a son.

This film is about hope, emotions, relations and karma.

We are storytellers who believe in the power of cinema for positive change.... Our goal is to make challenging, realistic and engaging films that explore and push the convention of cinema.

About the director

Shahroze Sadath is an independent writer, director, anchor and actor from Hyderabad India. His ascent into film making began in his college days and has worked on various theater productions and as an anchor for a television channel in Chicago.

He is hoping to make this film at the highest caliber possible in order to bring awareness to the issues of family, poverty and sacrifice being explored in the film.

Filming dates

We are scheduled to film in mid February..

What have we done so far

We have been working on this project for the last eight months now. In that time we have written the script scouted locations and finished most of the pre production work…

A first round of auditions have been done for casting of principal characters.Main crew members have been identified and well known cinematographer Gautham Sidharth is on board as the Director of Photography on this film.

Please watch enjoy and donate.. Your support is very precious and invaluable and I want to thank you from the warmest place in my heart..

Making a film is a crazy large undertaking. There are many expenses that occur from pre-production all the way into post-production, below are some of the expenses we are raising money for:

·  Equipment rentals

·  Cast and crew i.e. cinematographer, sound mixer, gaffer etc.

·  Sound

·  Locations

·  Editing

·  Art department rentals & purchases.

·  Post production

·  Music composition

·  Festival entry fee

·  So much more!

No matter if we reach our goal or not, the funds will go towards finishing this project.

By the way if you have any questions or queries at all or would like to make a donation directly to us do drop us a line at magicofgiving1@gmail.com.

A note from the director

To make this film a success has been a dream of mine for a very long time. For the last eight months I have been obsessed with creating this project, and am now overjoyed that it is happening.  It's actually happening!  

I aim to make this film aesthetically beautiful and inspirational which will definitely touch your heart because it is being delivered directly from my heart..

My greatest strength lies in portraying human relationships. my stories are living and breathing things..

This is an incredibly exciting project but we have a very short time to make this happen, if you can't donate then please help by spreading the word via Twitter and Face book and use the SHARE THE CAMPAIGN button.

Also, if you happen to run a festival in which the short film could participate, that would also be welcomed.

Thanks for all your continued support!!!
