2003/ July 24th
Extracts
from the Mail of Dipak Patel, Aamar Nijer Productions
Representative at Las Vegas
"Korak,
I arrived at the 'SEVEN' (where the Opening Night
GALA was held) at 6.30pm and then the guests seemed
to be arriving. There were booths for about 10-12
movies and 10 music groups. Circulating through
the crowd seemed to be most effective.
JP,
Marie and I interacted with many people, maybe 50
people each, giving away 150 of the folders. Almost
everyone felt something nice from the film and what
we said.... many people expressed an interest in
viewing the film. Many said they would see the film.
I spent about 3-5 minutes per person or group of
persons talking, explaining and interacting about
the film and work. Almost with each interaction
there were nice feelings that people shared.
The
day of the screening, we put the banner up in a
nice place where everyone would have to see it.
Total
attendance to the film was about 70-75. Jack from
the festival said it was a nice turn out. Comparatively,
so far from what I have seen, it seems like the
turnout for My Karma was the largest turnouts for
movie attendance.
I
don’t know what I said in the beginning when the
director or movie representative is asked to say
a few words.
...thanking
the people for coming...the two objectives of the
film and some parts of what you had said about wishing
that the people's dreams and aspirations come true
and their needs are fulfilled....
After
the screening, one person asked for the book of
poems and she bought it. She said the film reached
her right here (pointing to her heart)."
