Meeting William and some action items.

Rahul and me met William , who is a cameraman and a "DOP" ( Figure that out yourself ) for a few films, in the film industry. He has done a few kannada films and some advertisements. We met at the Mac Donalds, Total Mall at Airport road and the meeting was mind blowing.

We got most of the information that we needed. In summary we got the following information

1. The budget that will be required for producing of this movie and the equipment and assistants that we need.
2. He had some contacts that we could use to get the permission to shoot on the malleshwaram station
3. He had some contacts that we could use to get the post production done
4. He had some contacts that we could use to get clarity on the distribution.

So in short , once we have the necessary permissions for using the railway station, we are on ! Got butterflies in my stomach as I am even writing this. ( The hitch here is that he was also saying, that sometimes, permission to use the railway station takes upto 3 months ).

Further actions :

Roli to talk to Manish and see if he knows the procedure to get the permission to use the railway station.

Veena, Vilas will get the contact from William and get the procedure to use the railway station clarified.

Veena will get the contact from William for the distribution and see how to proceed on this.

Brewin and Rahul to meet Ananth for the music direction next week.

Rahul will look and see if he can get some contacts for sponsoring this project.

RAghav will talk to a professor on the copyright permissions for using this story.
