I don't want to start only a forum or community over net, I am trying to start a group, a place where we can share our ideas, knowledge, and creativity. More than this we can share our resource.
This is a very simple idea, but very hard to implement. that's way i am looking for the serious people.
I am contacting all the people from India those who are interested and serious for film making.The purpose is that to come together at a place and share the knowledge & promote each other.
You have lot of experience please join us and guide the others.
