Stormglass Productions Use VMI For New Bollywood Feature
A dramatic Bollywood feature film is being shot by Stormglass Productions, using RED and Cooke S4i film lenses hired from VMI.
Life Goes On is being shot in May 2009 on location in London with acclaimed DoP Robert Shacklady.
The drama tells the story of an Indian family living in London and explores the relations between a grief-stricken Indian father, Sanjay, and his three daughters, following the sudden death of his wife.
The drama unfolds over five days from the day when Manju dies to the day of the funeral.
Haunted by memories, grappling with this devastating loss, missing the mediating influence of his wife, Sanjay finds himself assessing and carving out new relations with his three daughters.
He is faced with a further crisis when he discovers his youngest and most loved daughter, Dia, has a Muslim boyfriend, Imtiaz. Confused and angry, Sanjay leaves home and wanders the streets of London one night.
With an unexpected series of events, Sanjay is forced to face his past demons, such as his trauma over the partition of India when, as a child, he was forced to leave his home with his parents.
Finally, to come to terms with his old and unspoken prejudice about Muslims, in the larger context of the country in the grips of Islamaphobia as the events of 7/7 and the consequences of the Iraq war reverberate.
As he sits drenched and tired on a bench on Hampstead Heath and watches the sun rise - Sanjay puts his demons to rest.
At the funeral he has come to terms with himself, he allows the Muslim boy to join the family rituals and sees his daughters for what they are and not what he expected them to be.
Stormglass Productions UK was set up to promote meaningful cinema and theatre in the British-Asian culturescape. The company draws inspiration from the best of cinematic traditions (world cinema/European cinema/Indian cinema) and theatre practice.
