This is a short film bout two idiots (well three idiots is going to get released tomorrow sooo…and no this is NOT related to it even though we approached Amir Khan for the role), Kenneth and Shivani. They are best friends but have a very big problem in their lives…watch this space to find out more!
“In love with my best friend” is written, shot and directed by Raghav Bhotika, its loosely inspired from the archie comics…We are currently looking for a third idiot ( hopefully she should be cute and bubbly), so if you are interested pls call Raghav at 9972940791 or me (kenneth) at 9916379626 for more info. Pls dont expect any remuneration for this, we believe in “SASTA HAI ACHA” but we can promise a wonderful experience while shooting!
After casting, principle shooting and post production is done, we will be sending this short film to many Film Festivals nationally and internationally. This film is a venture by Lights Off Productions.
I can’t even describe how difficult the wait for my bike was. Everyday since the day of booking, i would sit in the bus wondering when i would be able to drive home..Wondering if i will be able to maneuver well in the hell-hole traffic of Bangalore..
Getting my bike wasn’t easy, and the only reason i have one is cause my dad is like ..i dunno..the best dad in the planet (and i am not saying this only for the bike).
Initially due to budget constraints my dad recommended buying a Honda stunner. I didn’t want one cause mainly my brother already had a stunner..and for a first bike, that somehow just wouldn’t do.
Then my eyes fell on the FZ16..but again, due to budget constraints my dad said a firm no. But after months of emotional blackmail ex:
Dad: Kenneth, after college when will you reach home today?
Kenneth: At 5 maybe..why?
Dad: No, cause we are going out for dinner, so come early cause we have to do shopping before that.
Kenneth: I could have come home earlier..i dunno..maybe if i had a bike? I could just drive back from coll in 45 minutes and be here in time for this and for everything (flashing a big retarded smile at my dad)
Dad: Go to your room.
So. anywho..my dad said i could have a Fz..buttt i have to wait for 8 months. I said okay, i would bear the male harassment i go through in bus everyday for 8 months if i can get a Fz..but honestly i had a prob with Fz. I didn’t like its headlight at all. Then i heard that they are bringing out a faired version of it and i knew i wanted to buy that. Amazingly my dad was okay with that too..but the 8 months remained.
Lets not get into how the 8 months passed, but finally on 9th October 2009, my Lava Red Yamaha Fazer had arrived. Even though i wasn’t feeling well and i have zero experience with riding a bike in traffic, i rode back from the showroom to my house (thats 13km) and it was a breeze. You know the connection between man and machine?…ya, it was that connection baby.
So yesterday night, since i was jobless, i shot some random footage of my bike at night and decided to edit it and put it on youtube for you guys. Pls tell me what you think. This video is actually a peek at a later video , which is going to be a full fledged advertisement of Fazer (making it to include it on my portfolio).
A Sneak Preview of the latest film by Lights Off Productions , Written and Directed by Siddhanth K.S.
Well i won’t share much info with you guys now, just know that i acted in it and Naveen did too..I am working on the post production with Siddhanth. Will write more about its making when the movie is done. Tell me what you think!
Okay, i know, just when you think i am going to wake up and do some serious film making, my friends and me make another three retards episode..
Hey, what can i say? Shooting stuff that makes no sense, and having the freedom to do anything while editing is starting to become very enjoyable. So, dont take this seriously, it’s just us having some fun at college and showing our love to Micheal Jackson while making a public announcement against ragging…all at the same freaking time. Enjoy!
Yes, yes i know this video is retarded. As you can see we spent 5 minutes planning it, 5 minutes rehearsing it and 10 minutes shooting it. This pretty much was what happens to us in college campus…
Anywho, i thought i will go back to the good old days (What would you do 1) and edit this entirely in Windows Movie Maker (its pretty obvious anyway).
Hope you laugh at us after you see this video!
