Jheeni Jheeni Beeni Chadariya
Jheeni Jheeni Beeni Chadriya - the book I am reading now and what a suggestion it has been!
I am tempted to make a documentary out of it. That route may be easier since I dont have to go through the painful 2 years of writing the script, casting and many more glitches typical to a fiction drama. Docu drama is sleek ,frill free, direct and almost can live up to the emotional character of the book.
One is always tempted to make a film on a book. But is that book worth that much. In short, yes. I have to ask myself this question more than others
Do I believe in the story?
Is that worth the next 5 years of my life?
Am I ready to go to very end to see that come to life?
These are tough question but the one that need answering before you embark on any serious journey. In my case I am in a unique position to find an almost intimate spot with that book. I love the characters, I see them everywhere. It is strange that no matter where you get in your life, the problems remains the same existential ones. They never leave you.
The worst thing
The worst thing in the world is sitting listlessly while the final cut editor exporter crawls to the finishing line. That is about the worst thing you could see. After spending hours into editing that project, you have spend the painful hours not being able to focus on anything except seeing that export finish successfully. I would kiss your hands if you tell me the best way to do this. I guess there are no shortcuts to FCP exports!
The generation gone by
In your generation, people already got old at 25. Oue generation is living what yours could merely dream of. We are a dream generation. True that you made sacrifices but you made mistakes too. So in the end we didn't get a smooth ride anyhow. We made it possible by being more ambitious and by paining ourselves.
