OF SLUMDOGS AND MILLIONAIRES

Note: This piece of writing does not contain any spoilers. It is 'safe' to read even if you haven't watched the movie.

Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire has been in the news a lot lately. And for good reason. It is commercial cinema at its best. A showcase of packaged cinematic brill… Continue

Big achievements for our little network! More than ju… Continue

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

On 13 December 2007, with little more than an idea and a firm belief in the power of networking, I began an online social network meant for independent filmmakers and film lovers from around the world to come together and well, do something. People like myself; with little or no resources except a driving passion for our chosen craft of filmmaking and a willingness to collaborate... Fast forward to 13 December 2008. Exactly a… Continue

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM CORPORATES

This is something I found on one of my trips down the great Yootoob river. Now the message is clear - plant more trees, save the planet, do something. The presentation is cute too - the li'l girl and the jingle... Preity Zinta. But tell me one thing - do you take it as seriously, when you know that it comes from Toyota? Call me a cynic, but a 'go-green-plant-more-trees' message from a car manufacturer won't have me planting more trees, however nicely Shank… Continue

CALL TO ACTION!

Long, long ago... OK, in January 2008 actually, we had begun our first attempt at true collboration at Wannabe Studios - to make a music video. It was suspended because we didn't have enough members who could contribute. Now the time has come to attempt it again. If you wish to contribute, READ ABOUT IT HERE! Continue

WE'RE 200! AND ONAN IS ON!

Quietly, ladies and gentlemen, last night, our membership slipped passed another milestone. We're over 200, at Wannabe Studios. It is just a small band of people, but people who share a common passion for films and filmmaking. I take this as a sign of things to come and a pointer to the fact that there really are like-minded people like us out there. Nothing should stop us from doing good things together. Let's just make films… Continue

ANOTHER BIT OF THE 'ENDLESS TWEAKING'.

Hi there, if you have been around for a while, you may have seen that the homepage now looks different (again!). It has been done to conserve 'screen real estate' and 'optimize bandwidth usage'. Umm... the truth? Well, we rearranged some stuff, took down some old thingums and have tried to speed up the whole page in general. PLUS, we have introduced the chat thingy on the homepage, on a test basis. It will continue to stay there depending on usage and feedback. In other words,… Continue

PROFESSOR WIKIPEDIA!

At last someone's made a film on how ridiculous the whole thing is. I have been trying to tell as many people as I can that they should... well forget it. Watch the film. It is scary how true this film really is!
