I think its definitely made. We will come with me. You know, that is this need of love and stay realty in life emotionally. Yes and somewhat, it also frees you and makes you even more feel elicit, itll work. Yes. Because you know that you have your own. Im also somebody who last 4 of my veterans, 16 years ago, and im the only child, the sense of belonging is something that i have grieved for the most, you know, between all the success and all the literally treasures. A sense of belonging is something that is a virtue that is most important to me in my life and, and its video and i feel that i have a set of fuel for parents. Now a beautiful family and theyre very proud and i think grade that is dead and their eyes and, and their voice for me is the most beautiful reward in the world above and beyond everything thats so true and shining computer. The name was osmond. Yes, we need mama and you needed a couple show a name. Now im of the so a couple couple from im know that you said yes. The indigo. Put the when did you start to think your feelings not to produce them but to sort of in the ive feelings came into being thing ever since its an estimate. I think i was born brought up in a good one the main road and saw the 3 send them on the single friday number was out of go to everything just transferred to you know, its to a little time traveling. You would in college or you wouldnt school as growing up. Yours the eightys, but i know some background. I comfortable, very, very humbly family off of just, you know, dad, being a business person trying to do different businesses, property construction, you know, in delhi to make ends meet with his less family. But my best friends model under the does a good is their name, and she used to be a production coordinator in international phones. And i used to just be holding guns and done so all observing hood ever since i think i was 1516 digitizing her phone. Books and compute the, you know, being that the goal in office being the business of creativity. Its actually building a dream. Yeah. So you know, selling or dream getting it through life every be and so much Decision Making in interest of the dream land. So the highlights that well and that responsibility and wanted to learn more and on the job went strength to strength started as heard in dont in dont ever since i was 1516 and kept going. And by the time i was 1920, i was a line producing Big International trends in the canadian of french italian from using an imax document freeze for the shots. Just the horror walks of production that i used to hire a lot of equipment from bombay right in light, a lot of actors as and when needed of fall, whichever showed the Technical Skills were all in one big. So life friends in bombay with the lights, people, you know, im the groups guys, those are the people i knew from the managed to call them from shore to shoot in the late then by the time i was 21, i decided to move to lumber and raise money from my me but and i know wanted to produce utah city letting me do it. I am very keen to understand how is this good for it. And so while i loaned logistics 1st by 6 years, very, very early on in life, right. I wanted to come to the other side of creative before the logistics dot and that johnny begin bombay for me. And thats when i really committed myself to move you out and being the in the for the industry. Which was your 1st feeling that you produce. Ive produced and when i was 21, my 1st friend was go see salam india children cricket feel like i started it in 2006 and we leased it in 2007. Why was producing it an important factor to not directing all texting and at all, but its undermining the producer. Theres somebody who collect some money. Yes. And sort of that, but i think the concept of invest is completely different. Yes. And thats actually a very good question because it took me a decade deliberate. What do you, what i do . You know, and people are people in understand and i dont know why people dont understand because my education or schooling what i saw was producing ivys money. Both of them, but i choose the script that i want to come to the next couple of years of my life. Ive been raised the money i make, i make the business man. Its literally like a Startup Company every time youre making your new media, high case scenario, what happens youre doing your compatible, then going out to raise money, then all figuring negotiating of all the activities director, making sure that contracts negotiation is done and then youll get into how are we putting this on screen, how every penny is added on the screen so that it looks better . It looks because im creatively aligning every to Decision Making and then sitting again on the at it because thats the diamonds and ms. Wade again and then marketing release distribution, rebuilding the money its getting the b. Yeah. Oversight was you know, so over the distribution cycles. So it, it is very, very exciting and i think its a very cool business. Its extremely under depth. Its unorganized, but it is a very, very exciting business. This industrial ahead is dominated and especially in the producers section is dominated by men. Yes. But for the woman to be a producer, how difficult was it . I actually didnt even have that lens. Youre not to be honest all the years, maybe a internalized retrospectively that maybe its an issue, but i always was very exacted by age. I just thought that very, a just but of cultural little more than gender, we kind of, you know, not accept the young as an equal. So i colored my head like, you know, i was 26 producing gang less of what all i and i at that point of them and i was 26. I used to project as being for the, im do days like the, uh, what is to project mean for the to be taken serious rectangle. Is your Side Business . Absolutely. You know, just be like if anybody wants a high or low, you know, to sit on the stable and negotiate multiple good ordeals, easter did the question s, the guess this really taught these only 4 because like, exactly any kind of discrimination is not something that youll see upfront and 11 on so forwarded upfront. Its older youll utilize and then you also react with that. And then you know, so my reaction to that was started reading studies, reading thoughts with jackets, dressing like or the coloring my head. Why its being cited of being and rules that have fixed it. My thoughts to my middle colleagues, because if i said it might not be taken seriously, it might not be accepted in the contract in big corporate meetings. But those, well, if you dont, well it is, its really a belief. No. Now, yeah. See theres so many of them in, on sets up some so many of them in introducing rules, existing rules. I dont think people have a choice then to take orders. You know that ive been, that have been times and you will be with those instead of walkers that you need to get work done. And then they have resistance. They dont look you in the eye. They feel like, you know, we conduct the orders and thats when you did it. Like i said, you know, you have to take orders from me, you know, we have to learn to Work Together and its fine. Everything happens. I remember in my family, my name started coming, art is as producer on so many phones over the years. I have some friends. So the guy who is a lunchbox thats on shed on shy, he gang so less that book i let sort of that equal to color. None of these pictures feature me very so im the only different thing about do producers. We will change that. We make that change up, but it is a life im going to. I remember one of the family dinners is do like you see you and magazines is you news people you had a producer, but that was to somebody you are reporting to know. I said, no, no, i am so, but they couldnt believe it. They like they must have somebody are digging orders from like, somebody will tell you how do you know how to do it or do a loan . Did you listen to do last you appeared in to 16 is back. Yeah. May i ask who, how . Yes. Unfortunately, they were both on when my mom left last the battery against me and my dad had a very high diabetes and gave me issues and he was in dialysis. The most unfortunate part of this is that they both left in 6 months. So that was a huge hit and im the only jamie, extremely loved by them. Uh, they have really empowered me made me travel. The words above and beyond their means did this, the success to some extent this saw uh, northwestern salaam, india. Uh, they saw the 1st one, the very proud they heard the song of may next from the savannah, which was them a mustang. Yes, that kid last year song and was whenever i took featuring, shes young child director. I got a mock the hood that song which my mom was so so proud of and i still dont need that as a dedication to her. Mom could not see that from that saw this and. And then that to who were you doing this all for we always want to Say Something to look. Yeah. My, my dad got that address or not ive done something so amazing. So right. Actually i think i just adopted dreams of every detective. I produce terms of so many plus them directors for me. I was like, ok, all dreams of my dreams, you know and make it happen for you. So it was just an art, most silvas for the business and you know, above and beyond the financials of it, i just really wanted to work make new boundaries happen. And also i think somewhere i connect with them very, very deeply when you um, brands in to talking to them. You know, and, and the guy to me, i feel like i have mental angels. I have a way of talking to them, calling upon them, saying, help me here. You know, i am in this situation and that has me navigated or give me an idea that he can get out of this. This been around if he liked, then guided me for sure and bed and strongly do you know its a very beautiful bond. Yes. But yes. For many, many years. It was all the 1st time directors that i worked with and all the actors and all legends. I was like, ok, lets go to a fast or lets go when awards. Lets go license globally. And that allowed me to, you know, constantly integrated. The business like of the indo front. Pretty off cool production was signed in 1985. I was the 1st one to use it in 2011 for a phone call lunchbox. Then i used it again, sort of inquired my son and, and then i did get a, a, the 2nd highest civilian award from france. I think producing actually elevates the joint e of wilson and i, or i always feel it. How can i add value . And then it just becomes a mission that i take over. So it has been putting a lot of emotions into work. And over the years, learning self serve fact substance. And now over the years feeling stable and you have got to ask us. Yes. So i think thats the 1st and then you know, technically i have 11 oscar which is fine and defend this press, which is on my name. Peter, the end of sentence oscar came for the film i have. So if theres an executive producer on the phone with my companys a candidate been producing the front, what is it called ssl, secure uh to keep learning the learning. Yeah. Secure and to be and mom named it, ill just say kept reduced defeated. Independence was one of the producers, and i served as an executive producer. So my full one in oscar. But for me, in my name, i have one of for elephant visitors when i served as a producer. How does your dream keep shifting from one thing to another offense . One is a job. Yeah, one is producing the fed. One is sort of letting me put and defend together. That gives you a sense of satisfaction. But you also want to take him to some place that has no other answer to this. I love doing this. Above and beyond. Its what makes my be me explain night makes my morning i am fully consumed and is in service of the cut off. I love making, so wanting to night. Im thinking what stories and thinking what categories im thinking of. How can she and all of that for the get added . What is the space . What are the films that have been made it on the what on this you know how to educate yourself . Yes, that is the commerce bit of it. The odd window for this only as again as a producer shift between both and you know, when i read something, my 1st thought is, whos the best in the body to do this . Whos the best in the lloyd who has done this . And i literally think that everything is a good to the separations of a so me, right. I the child i discuss, i expose scripts already on doing this for 15 years. I have some beautiful mentors around the world in europe and us in canada and news and, and, and uh, some cool productions have been beautifully big. I just did a jordanian and getting co production. You know, 1st of its kind female producer from the board. I think that is also thinking like i did forward are similar. I dont work for the awards. They happen, you know, but i definitely keep myself aware of whats happening in the were going to as invested was attending jones, just watching you consume. What do we think back to us investor were to each day and when you know for me, im just like, or this is working. You know, this is how the audience in canada, toronto reacted general. Uh, maybe we can, you know, attempt alejandro like this in india. I think i recently made a phone call in which is an extreme action, so it says, you all know thats never been done in india. Its a 100 minutes and with 90 minutes of action, non stop action in a close space of a 3 and the moving team. Just that experience, you know, is something that weve seen internationally within india. Its the 1st and repeated entered onto it. So with the 1st in the interim that will be sort of globally and, and theyve sort the us rights and rest of the word rights. And if you release globally, but norm, thats what our distributors, wiley also will expanded to that us, but also including the businesses that this individual data, a larger team. How do i expand the footprint of this story to the center of every production and bottom apart from other india . And i think lavonne. Yes, those are the only 2 feeling the vision mid to the 5 finalists and no other feeling. Yeah. And then from a void which believes and leads cinema. What is it that lacks us, not just only for india, its for around the world, any country. And were all in one gutted the Us International since the whole war since that entries from the country and some of the foreign friends are unbelievable compared to the fit in that us and from yeah, yeah, ive actually more than 2 to be part of that community because it would be so much that the, i was like, you know, ive gone to it and look on it and just point fingers. Im happy to say that the media. I want to see how does this decision mean . So, you know, certain one us to just understand that this is an american award. You know, this is an award that happens in us. Yes. And it is gained popularity globally. You know, so this is a competition. And you send your best foot forward in the competition better thoughts if you like. And, and from me being in the committee or that was taught that was on the deep was what v p is the best. So that taught, i see whats us few steps back. Unfortunately, the taught us is on what will be accepted exactly the academy will those who vote are spread around the world . How do these voters here to both of them if the for, and this play that a big festival is the same as one that are festival. If this and this phone distribution in us, then theres a lot of publicity marketing that happens for that data, which is finding distribution that, that is the basis of word of mouth to drive it across us and levels globally. If we dont put all this criteria into watch Selection Process or that understanding, i think that has to be a filter. Since ive traveled to fest general is step one. And that is the importance of estimates and programmers. They go to every country and discover the gems of defense in every language, and then they put it on the horde watermark if theyve been it can easily win at the toronto above and bully and then youd already been one of these 5 festivals if program are 20 festival, thats a mix of English Press students that is assumed to be submitted. And if it has a us distributional, then youll know that there will be a lot of knowledge in as running the campaign. That kind of knowledge is something that each 1 may go from you. By the time they get there and loan and hired a beam, its truly massive campaigns of all of the have. Massive word of mouth has already happened for many more countries. It is at the center of us not moving forward. So not even logan has when he picture drastic lunchbox had so many. But just like its unfortunate lunchbox is not central media, its an american be running the campaign and they have done it for 56070. 00. The deal is so freaking out of the festival in step one criteria. And step 2, if you have an american distribution, what that kind of but it needs to be made and that kind of knowledge needs to be widespread. That great, the needs to be a lens of the committee. Otherwise, the operating in a solution festivals are all just also now have their own. Keep that its very difficult to break into that there is a process like the old start somewhere 2012. I had videos and gangs of us that were selected again in different sections, 2013. It was uh, once youre in our section, im just saying that now what, how does that even happen . Is uh, showing up at the festivals to meet the programmers. You put that effort and also its the job of program was to discover new ways to be able to do it for them says, no its, its a part of its, its a part of the job. Like any executive, its the job to discover the new language new fil nicholas new kind of Story Building or something that breaks tito. They have something that stands out in the cut off of cinema. So i think interacting with the program was only one meeting them in a go off in festival, or at mommy all of
