A note from LA-based filmmaker and SAJAer Arati Misro - share with filmmakers you know:
Chutni TV seeks films from South Asia or about South Asia that offer "cross over" appeal for worldwide distribution across all territories. We are interested in films mainly in English but are open to films in other languages if they have a compelling storyline with universal appeal and high production value. Our focus is predominantly on narratives of feature length and short films but we are also open to documentaries.
Full details below. See Arati's LinkedIn.com profile (free membership of this social networking site needed to see the full profile; here's something I wrote about making LinkedIn useful for professionals in October 2006).
FROM ARATI MISRO, filmmaker.
Dear Fellow Filmmaker:
Chutni TV seeks films from South Asia or about South Asia that offer "cross over" appeal for worldwide
distribution across all territories. We are interested in films mainly in English but are open to
films in other languages if they have a compelling storyline with universal appeal and high production
value. Our focus is predominantly on narratives of feature length and short films but we are also open to
documentaries.
Chutni TV's mission is to offer filmmakers innovative distribution and marketing services thereby showcasing their products in the mainstream marketplace. Chutni TV will leverage the management team's expertise in content licensing coupled with strong industry relations to build a
distinct space for quality South Asian content.
We are actively reviewing submissions at present. We will also be taking meetings in Toronto at the Toronto Film Festival in September with filmmakers wishing to submit their films.
