Movie on Indian Metaphysics

A screenplay with starts with a climax and ends with another climax, Neti Panchatantra will start on December 11th 2013 and Sciensation hopes to complete it within four months.

Central Idea: All threads and journeys converge into a quest for metaphysics, via consilience. Threads are metaphorical- Optimism versus Pessimism, Leadership vs Dictatorship, Trust-Confidence love-story, Perfection-Benevolence love-story.

Spoiler-Climax: India excelled in Ayurveda, Natyashastra, Ganitha and possibly all ancient spheres of human-excellence. This is neither a coincidence nor a reflection of Indian IQ, but a fruit of Indian metaphysics. Possibly the greatest education system on this planet, was killed to diminish the source of our enlightenment, spread ignore and hence oppress us.

Bottomline:  When you pursue anything, once you hit the threshold, you go through an outward spiral and travel with excellence, at an exponential pace. How do you understand the soul within, to hit this threshold- Indian metaphysics

Marketing: We hope to circulate this film through Youtube/School libraries/VCD portals, cyber-cafes etc. We hope to sell advertising space, integrated with the script.

Production: Lighting through home-made reflectors and adjustable stands. Minimal outdoor shooting.

This project will reflect Sciensation's ability to produce long script, with practically no expenses involved and to market short film, an industry which doesn't exist today. Sciensation's film production and finance would be checked!

Existing Team:
Lyrics: Tejaswi Monangi(song will be released soon)
Editing: Nihar Kartik Mamidipudi
Writing and Production- Tarun
Music- synthesize from tracks, riffed off from the internet.
And quite a few critics!

What we are looking for:

Passionate Actors who can understand the spirit of the film and the depth of their character. We put in a lot of efforts in characterization and dialogues, we don't appreciate change in prescribed content/tone.

Cinematographer
who understands moving-composition,aesthetics(mood) and action-continuity.

Sound Designer who can design the audio tracks, to help in reinforcing the created space(in the scene) and maintaining free flow of time, across the film.

Music Composer who can create a mood appropriate for the scene. We would be having 3-4 songs too.
