Sorry for the lack of info lately. I was in FL & NY for the last 3
weeks supporting and pushing TRADE OFFS. The screenings went really
well and we got a lot press coverage in NY. We also got to meet
Mira Nair and gave her our CD of the soundtrack and she liked it.
Author Salman Rushdie was presenting the awards at the closing
ceremony.

We've got two screenings this weekend: 11/14 @ 10pm in Dallas
(www.dsaff.org) & 11/15 @ 7pm in Carlsbad (San Diego). Check out my
homepage for more info: www.anup.net

Also, we got a killer front page article in the A&E section of the
UCSD Guardian today: http://www.ucsdguardian.org/hiatus.pdf

Check out other yahoo groups by keyword such as 'casting'
or 'filmmaking', etc.

The following info pretty cool. I know there are a few more out
there like this. I'll try and post them here soon.


Take Care,
Anup
