bekins holidays were spend working on the script. now if the chance i get, i traveled from door to bobby, to get my cos grew and products in the face. all only leggings loss is not in that village, so it has to be of in this new to, to go to them. they're not going to do, don't you started working on the costume odd, team building and getting that i good afternoon and all those are done. so now we have the best to the sick in his days. i'll say what are fine and know where we are finalizing things like odd, but it came with a lot of designs. we became with a costume for the last to so with the door piece, aged carty. yeah. but it's supplied with

from here on the next plan. we have, apart from the clue meeting each other in between. we are going for the look test. and after that acting look. so for the need characters. ah, around 8 o'clock in 1099. i landed in bombay and i didn't know anybody that and i didn't know where to go. people in my village used to talk about jew beach. and that's the only place i knew in von b. so i took a cab and came digital beach. and i spent my 1st night here with

my father had given address of the adobe in a small ship. this is where some of my villages live. it was then by day and room with more than 7 or 8 people living in beth. and every morning i'll get up and grow a studio for a studio that was not easy to come up. i didn't have any feed is i didn't have much exposure as i learned anything from a small to it is m said for and i came here. so it took almost 3 months for me to find a job video editor. very soon i started getting good offers and all i, i started with tv and then moving to phone some big problems like being cited chocolate. you see, my dream was always to become a filmmaker,

but i thought i wanted to do a proper edition. and for the last day news, i've been doing documentary films and know i've been very confident to do a future. mm hm. and, and we're just didn't look best to have minnie and nea. i see the lead actors and shadow lead actor. what of this study is extremely close to my heart because i come from the legalities which used to be a very slow down and now becoming really big down. and so it did relates to the idea of the fin the night. and this group i was sort video them like them. see, i don't think it is his say,

what sort of you put us image. i let him on for those. ha ha ha ha, exactly. this is the car deal. my knees with megan was not that much he was doing here fully feel like guardian or all those got it to us in my film out of. yeah. i know impressed me. and for me, it was important to goest actors who need to be famous as well as have very similar experiences. so they fit in that to lean with after the 1st we did the small, small tins with each character like we did her once in with her and single so, and we did very intimate scene just to check it brought the lead actors, how comfortable they are with each other and that was great. in fact,

they were meeting 1st and but both of them. sure. how professional they're in the same way we did one scene with web t and mung la. within 510 minutes both the characters prepared and did amazing. no delivery. okay. with this is our last meeting from here on. we'll just meet on the said a wow. oh, good. 3rd for you is a small travel village. from there it ended up

becoming largest video. this did child if you see this factories, this used to be a residential combined. it's late on was before the, when the small coming out in the near her really hot in dom shade or because of this pollution in the factories. when we were in college, this is to we are hard to spot. this was our cinema hall visit guinea. now there is none fans to this place and finish the say. i had access to the best cinema from it on the was the land here is very rich, pull up, natural resources and minions. and unfortunately that has been the biggest goods for childhood. almost the entire state is dug up.

people very constantly get moved from their own place. somehow it's already connected to my film as well. almost the same thing is happening in the name of freedom in the name of development, in the name of technology. how slowly and slowly we destroy ourselves. with

data men have just as women is part of part of the system with. 7 7 you from yeah, oh my little of them. i didn't think of a. 6 boys, i was no them him when i came to his village mustang. these and heard not existing. it's a year and a half i'm talking about. so that's why we had selected this village unit in the

other part of it is there is no, none of these things were happening. and now that most of our location says here, and we are showing a village just secret until the interval. and so we have to somehow hired these things in the inter with like every other body would penance. my for me is also divided into us by an interval in the 1st spot of the phone, the villages anonymous completely cut off from the rest of the world. and in 2nd, but when world that he stripped ah, 1st time when i came, nobody was speaking to us. i'd be to go to steven for it. damn. when we realized that dick into speech. indeed. oh, i

go with her for about one of our and that either eileen you take it. i think i love you. i don't want him to say i. 2 owe you huh. you filled with ang is i don't know. so just on chambers. well, if i have to work so hard for us more, i will quit smoking. do and get all my books community i just like if my, if the latest you them that the match the other i live and my both of them knew

where me could you so this is the exactly the kind of village i grew up in, which was completely cut off from the rest of the what we had our own sort of economy, which was i said, all the about a system where everybody did everything for everyone. so like entire community will assemble 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. but then government res, technology is develop interest, money, wrist. all the characters in my story are that he and characters is exactly the same story. i've tried to write, which was already there. i think government has got the news of sitting here because the only reason i selected this is because it would no more than if you had come. there was no electricity or no for that. we didn't know

your, it has, has gone, electricity has gone through almost now we're playing a saving game with the government. we don't want development for us. and they don't want us to suit not develop the village. i won't get to use it as it is. but yeah, when we came for ricky, this gone has gone. almost the script is playing exactly the scoop is playing out here with . so i'm heading towards my parents place the village where i grew up and in last tried to 25 years. i've been away from this village, but perhaps from outside i could really get the difference while people are richer,

they have bought money, but something went missing in the process. and that's why it hurts. when i see changing it, when i see people not talking, when i see it's growing into a more or less individualistic society. and i think that was the result. i started writing and i ended up writing officials they're the school that should be the best my that with so this but the tree has huge significance in my life. this was out of school in 5 . ology used to sit there and we used to. i finished my family education here,

right in the district. this is the place we're 1st am. i was a phil. this is where the magic started seeing. and we thought which and in look at the domestic and those moments. and i'll go and acting like him for next 6 months. the nearest cinema hauled from here wasn't, has any bug which is almost 50 kilometers away from you and her. i'll bump my school. i'll do everything. i'll walk. there was no rush, no bus or no. and i think to go there so i would walk 50 glue kilometers on most of the to watch a film and then come back here. and the only thing i want it to become in my life was filmmaker. for last 10 years i've been making documentary films, but my religious won't consider me a filmmaker because my documentary doesn't flee in the nearest and him on the still

typically we just have your best or so one of the reasons why i want to make a feature film which can please in the nearest city mahash, where i can take my video and show them look the dream which had a started very 5 years ago. is here with i love with oh, oh, to go literally. it is. i

don't know of their dealing with it as i said it soon idea all the up here tag it sally a by lin. peggy leggy mapquest may have a non line. cannot be not quite that i gave lynette again. i need to find a me, a was school, a limbic now you either because in a you pm can that they owe you as i'm pulling got a lab and i can that they either watch and

that's when i had on me. i saw gentleman's woke up at a go get gone the hadn't gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. well obviously the big about is making a happen because of this will lady. she doesn't want to leave this house. i didn't give you a picture which would get to lake lake in years he had minutes at the ah, this is lake close to what it was. a little thing said, please like this. i mean flooring has come. there was also been floating. the biggest thing which hurts me is this whole because i used to run from here to the end. now because that belongs to my, another english and both of these and i've decided to keep it warm. so they don't

fight. this used to be my, to this with this is gina, just got up to me. this is where i was 30 and i just did he winding back 30 years. this please was completely different but a few ways. everything was, in fact it was one of the most self reliant village. it had its own economy in everything god produced here. people were happier, there was no religion here. everybody celebrated edge of history. so there is some very fundamental question we need to us to us have and that's what i just sort of to india side by side for people to see and decide which was good, which was me ah,

ah ah. with those questions? yeah. am i did local exhibit?

yeah, i don't know if they give you a little bit of a b b who up with the like. it's hard to this for her to see that ago. maybe writing was with, with all the members. i didn't died cause she's here today. i took them to all the locations and said, everybody knows where basically they belong. this is also a good day or grew in cost to interact with each other, a

certain company. we had new, i thought he finally bought a lot of gonna put my boat casea. got them. they thinking that at least i don't see how good could be my room. nathan, probably muslim fact denied that we're behind. i don't going yaki, so things got started be probably dark mode cuz he says that he was going to say something. well, gun can be progress. let's see. so it's got to get on with because then we have tried our best to look into everything. but i'm sure because look,

isn't everything that we learned. convenience, but you need to just read it to the right people that it will get sorted immediately for every evening we'll have production meeting and then it will. these will discuss together this work hard to make a beautiful one backup a group one. 0, a whether it's cute and cuddly in australia, wild and ferocious in bangladesh, birth rise, we dress is the balance between endangered wild life, and then noisy neighbors, a forest right there and there's nothing between a human habitat learning to live together on al jazeera, how many people here have seen
