LOG LINE

 

A twelve year old Pakistani Muslim boy mistakenly crosses the mine-field strewn border into India and finds an unusual ally - Bhola, a Hindu school teacher who must find a way of hiding him from Indian soldiers looking for the ‘terrorist’ who crossed over..

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

LITTLE TERRORIST: Jamal, a 12 year old Muslim Pakistani mistakenly crosses the border between India and Pakistan, finding an unusual ally in a Hindu Brahmin, Bhola. Indian soldiers descend on Bhola's village searching for the 'terrorist' who crossed over. His neice Rani, insists they can't let a Muslim into their Hindu home. With Bhola and Rani grappling with the consequences of harboring a Pakistani and their deep-set prejudice against Muslims, Jamal's only hope is the humanity shared by a people separated by artificial boundaries a long time ago.

 

Based on a TRUE STORY: In early 2003 - a twelve year old Pakistani boy crossed the Indo Pak border by mistake. Indian Prime Minister Atal Bhihari Vajpaee, amidst PR fanfare, restored the boy to his family in Pakistan, kicking off the thaw in tensions between these two nuclear countries who came so close to war less than a year earlier.

 

WRITER/DIRECTOR/EDITOR/PRODUCER

 

Ashvin Kumar (director, producer, scriptwriter, editor) began working as an actor and director in theatre.  He undertook a degree in Media and Communications at Goldsmith’s College, University of London, in 1996, after which he began working in films as an editor. Ashvin edited, produced, acted-in and directed plays, short films, commercials and music videos, whilst setting up his own digital post-production business in New Delhi, India which he sold in 2001 to pursue a full-time career in film-making by relocating to London and briefly attending the London Film School.

 

In the fall of 2002, he wrote a 48 minute featurette, ROAD TO LADAKH, and mounted an ambitious production to be filmed in the remote north-Indian region of Ladakh. ROAD TO LADAKH was shown at Vancouver, Raindance, LA Shorts International film festivals and received theatrical distribution through the BFI and broadcast on SBS TV in Australia. The film was discovered at Cannes 2004 by Judith James of Dreyfuss/James Productions, LA who partnered with Ashvin to turn the featurette into a full-length feature starring an American actress and Bollywood star Irfan Khan. Ashvin made his second short, Little Terrorist, in January 2004.

 

In July 2004, Ashvin wrote his second feature film THE FOREST, a thriller with a strong message for conservation set in the jungles of India to be co-produced in collaboration with Dreyfuss/James Productions.

 

Ashvin has also been working as a producer of a DVD entitled ADVENTURES IN SHORTS – a film-maker’s journey to Hollywood which is a compilation of his short films plus three half hour documentaries about their making and one about the Cannes Film Festival. The DVD is on sale from the website www.adventuresinshorts.com

 

Ashvin serves as a writer, editor, director and producer on his shorts, though it is writing and directing he’s focusing on for his features. He lives between London and New Delhi.

 

 

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

 

Markus Huersch is a Swiss National who started his career as a teacher. A History of Arts and Philiosophy major, he is a London Film School graduate (1997) and an invited participant at the 5th Kodak International DOP Masterclass in Budapest (Masters: Laszlo Kovacs ASC and Vilmos Zsigmond ASC).

 

Starting his career as a focus puller, Markus soon (1999) moved into cinematography he has shot commercials, music videos, short films and documentaries. An international career spanning UK, India, Switzerland and SouthAfrica Markus has filmed partisans in Kosovo, pearl divers in the Middle East fishermen in Malaysia, gypsies in Hungary.

 

In 2002, Markus answered an internet advertisement for a crew to shoot in the Himalayas which began a fruitful collaboration with director Ashvin Kumar with whom he has shot Road To Ladakh and the multi-award winning Little Terrorist. Having worked in micro-budgets on both these ambitious projects which were filmed in impossible circumstances in the Himalya and the Indian desert, cinematographer and director developed a unique understanding and relationship that they will carry through into their debut feature, FOREST.

 

Markus finds great satisfaction having been involved at a very early stage in pre-production - "It gives me the opportunity to  dig deep into the story and do a lot of research, prepare myself carefully to a level so I can work creatively  and concentrate on the visual story telling rather than get overwhelmed by solving technical problems due to a lack of prep time.."

 

Most recently, Markus has filmed an award winning,  large scale film for the Swiss Air Force. The film offered many cinematographic challenges - spectacular night trap maneuvers, air-to-air refueling of an F/A-18, night search and rescue operations on a glacier in 15'000ft altitude with the REGA and a Super-Puma helicopter, F/A-18 and MiG-29 engaging in a dog fight  and was certified for creative exellence, Int. Film Festival Los Angeles, Silver Globe award International World Media Festival, Hamburg.

 

CAST

 

JAMAL – Salim: is a from the SAALAM BAALAK TRUST (established by film director Mira Nair after the success of her film Saalam Bombay for lost and orphaned children on the streets of Delhi). He was separated from his family at a fair when only seven years old and, after spending a few days without food, sleeping under fly-overs in New Delhi, was found by a social worker who brought him to the trust. It took the trust three years to locate his family, who were found in a slum in New Delhi, based on the fragments of information provided by Salim. Even though Salim sees his family regularly now – he prefers to live with his friends at the Saalam Baalak Trust where he attends school and is encouraged to participate in an invigorating programme that includes theatre and dance.

 

A naturally gifted performer great acting discipline and responsibility that makes him a delight to work with. Covered with thorns, having to squat in uncomfortable rocky holes for extended periods of time and having to brave the Rajasthani winter in nothing but a cotton kurta / pyjama (his costume), Shafiq never once complained of the physical hardship that he no doubt underwent.

 

BHOLA - Sushil Sharma: works as a clerk in the Delhi electrical supply company. He has been part of Delhi theatre, which he does in his spare time for years. Sushil was the only person auditioned for the part of Bhola. His striking face and presence honed by years on the stage show through in a sensitive performance. Sushil also takes character parts in television.

 

RANI - Megnaa Mehtaa: discovered that she had become Head Girl of Vasant Valley School, New Delhi during the shooting of Little Terrorist. This is the first time Megnaa has appeared on screen, indeed acted in an important part – it took her no time to find her feet in an alien medium and delivered an excellent performance. Megnaa has just graduated from school.

 

LITTLE TERRORIST - PRODUCTION NOTES

 

From idea / script to screen – the production of LITTLE TERRORIST was completed between Nov 2003 and March 2004, less than four months. The crew was assembled by Kumar’s Alipur Films in London via shootingpeople.org (an internet recruitment website) and all crew members worked free-of-cost and travelled to India at their own expense.

 

Working to a shoe-string budget, an exciting shoot began with the crew welcoming in the New Year 2004 at a tented camp in the middle of the Rajasthan desert. The crew had to contend with freezing mornings and nights, a remote location and logistical nightmares.

 

Due to the limited budget and director Kumar’s insistence on authentic Rajasthani music for the film, several troupes of Laangar musicians auditioned for the cast and crew after wrap each night, under the stars, around a bon-fire. The selected group not only featured in the film  but were called out to the wrap party where sound recordist Roland Heap, who works at Abbey Road as sound engineer, set up a virtual studio and recorded everything they sang that night. The rustic sounds of the desert add to BAFTA nominated composer Nainita Desai’s score and the laangar troupe not only provide the music in the film but also feature in it as the wandering minstrels. What started as an improvised cost-saving impulse became a lyrical and unique fusion of Indian folk and a more traditional western composed film score.

 

A freak accident almost brought the production to an early close as the tent containing the film stock caught on fire and was burned to the ground. Brave members of Vans Pradeep’s crew ran into the burning tent to retrieve the stock.

 

In this remote desert location word spread quickly that a film was being shot. In the land of Bollywood, cinema-crazy tractor loads of villagers from far-flung villages poured onto the set with wives, children, dressed in their best as if for a day-out to the circus. Two hundred villagers crowded dangerously on the lip of a amphitheatre like quarry where we were shooting a complicated scene. Getting live / sync sound during these periods was no mean task by sound recordist Roland Heap. We disappointed our eager audience who waited in vain for Megnaa (Rani in the film) to break into a traditional Bollywood dance sequence.

 

Other mishaps included a heard of cows, panicked by our Swiss DP Markus Huersch with camera on a crane, head-butted each other almost taking with them our three actors who were crouched under a bush waiting for them to pass. The shot was framed so that we saw the actors from between the cow’s legs but the shy bovine refused to co-operate and our trying to time this sequence with ‘magic-hour’ (or the time when the sun is just about to set) was in vain. The only casualty in that mishap was one of Roland’s expensive microphones. On the final day, the wandering musicians (who feature in the film) almost did not make it to the set in time, being arrested in Jaipur due to a misunderstanding over their papers and line-producer Vans Pradeep had to pull strings to get them out.

 

A self-funding professional crew, a multi-dialect production team, the remote location, a very stretched budget, crew illness, burning tents, broken equipment and unwanted extras...just a few of the unusual and challenging elements to this production.  But it also proved an unforgettable experience for all involved.  In the end, it is testament to the crews’ dedication that the resulting film is such a success of emotive and visually-stunning storytelling.  

 

 

REVIEW:

 

“From its tense beginning to its compelling conclusion Little Terrorist is an engaging well-paced story, full of tension and release at all the right places. I’d only planned to watch a few minutes but it drew me in! Keep your eye on Ashvin Kumar – a talented new voice”

 

MICHAEL WIESE, filmmaker, publisher

ADVENTURES IN SHORTS, THE DVD - PRESS RELEASE

 

ADVENTURES IN SHORTS: A FILM MAKER'S JOURNEY TO HOLLYWOOD is a 2 disk DVD containing two and a half hours of short, featurette and documentary films aimed at the aspiring film-maker and film-buff.

 

"I said OK because, frankly, the whole thing sounded completely crazy!"

DoP Markus Huersch (on why he paid his own airfare to work for free in India)

 

UK-based Alipur Films, and director Ashvin Kumar, have produced two internationally successful short films over the last two years.  ROAD TO LADAKH (www.roadtoladakh.com), filmed in 2002 it was spotted at Cannes and subsequently optioned by Judith James, Richard Dreyfuss's partner in their company Dreyfuss/James Productions, Hollywood to be re-made into a feature film with funding by the UK FILM COUNCIL. LITTLE TERRORIST (www.little-terrorist.com) was filmed earlier this year, and is currently on the film festival circuit (selected in competitions for: Locarno, Montreal, Telluride, London, Palm Springs, Sao Paulo, Hawaii, Manhattan Shorts, Chicago Children's, India, Giffoni, Jove, Brisbane, Huesca International Film Festivals).  

 

"Totally empowering - I want to get out there and make a movie today!"

 

ADVENTURES IN SHORTS: A FILM MAKER'S JOURNEY TO HOLLYWOOD is based on the experiences of making and marketing these films and their film-maker. Aimed at the aspiring, emerging, student filmmaker, short filmmakers and film enthusiasts, it loosely charts the a filmmaker's JOURNEY having quit film school to a feature film deal in HOLLYWOOD through two internationally successful and award-winning short and featurette films...all in two years!  

 

"Absolutely stunning, beautiful short films! Ashvin Kumar is a talent to watch."

 

The DVD contains:

1)  Road To Ladakh (www.roadtoladakh.com) 48 minutes, 35mm.

2)  Little Terrorist (www.little-terrorist.com) 15 minutes, 35mm

3)  Writer/Director and Director of Photography commentaries for both films.

4)  THE NEAR UNMAKING OF ROAD TO LADAKH (37 min)

5)  BEHIND THE DUNES OF LITTLE TERRORIST (37min)

6)  CAN YOU CANNES? (15 min)

 

"anyone interested in that leap from short films to features can make it here."

 

ROAD TO LADAKH is a suspenseful tale of a feisty fashion model who falls in love with the wrong kind of mysterious stranger near the boarders of India and Pakistan. A road-movie that drew the talents of actor Irfan Khan (The Warrior) and a European crew to complete an overly ambitious Himalayan adventure so fraught with disasters that it nearly didn't get finished; as documented in THE NEAR UNMAKING OF ROAD TO LADAKH.

 

LITTLE TERRORIST is the heartwarming story of a Pakistani boy who accidentally crosses the mine-field strewn India-Pakistan border and finds himself stranded in a foreign country in which he's branded a terrorist. BEHIND THE DUNES OF LITTLE TERRORIST takes an international crew recruited from the internet to a camp in the deserts of Rajasthan who, having met for the first time, are entrusted with wrapping the picture in six short days of shooting.

 

ROAD TO LADAKH was spotted at CANNES by a Hollywood producer and now is being remade into a Hollywood feature film. CAN YOU CANNES? is shot on location at CANNES, the biggest movie-making event in the world, and draws on the expertise of directors of major film festivals, sales agents, film-makers and producers looking for new talent. A users guide to creating opportunities, shameless self-promotion, getting noticed and walking that road to a feature film.
