Making of MANJADIKURU: Our first production office

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2008/02/to-mom-with-love.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). Our first production office. In a long room with sloping roofs, in London, I wrote the first words on a second hand laptop. Very much the struggling student dreaming big. From there a few years later, our first production office - a tiny room, in a corner of our apartment in Mumbai. A desk. Two chairs. A new laptop. Plain walls but for an inspirational note, my father's picture and a poster of the film I wanted to make! So what would we call ourselves?

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2007/12/film-is-shot.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). The film is shot. Plenty has happened since my last post on the blog and I am not too sure about where I should begin. like a line in my script i guess i can say that there were plenty stories as we made this film but finally like old roots they have all merged and meshed together and become one. The film is shot and we're weaving it together now in postproduction. Wish you all the best for the film. I dont know you but it seems like you have the conf...

Making of MANJADIKURU: the new family - our crew

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-family-our-crew.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). The new family - our crew. Today is the day before Onam. On any other year, today would be filled with the excitement of the festival, the homecoming of the family, the flower patterns and of course the onakodee- the new dresses or sarees gifted. But this Onam, I am swept away in a totally different direction. its an excitement mixed with nervous energy and plenty of optimism as we head closer to the making of this film. 28 August 2007 at 21:58.

Making of MANJADIKURU: Casting- Round 1

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2010/10/casting-round-1.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). Once the script was done and the seed funding was in place - the priority was CASTING. We started with the most difficult part - the children. we had to find two boys and two girls (ages 5-12). It was important for us to find children who still had that innocence and "that sense of wonder". Uncorrupted by adults or adulthood or the wise world around them. But I was in for a shock. My journal for that date reads thus . You can caste children with that sens...

Making of MANJADIKURU: Why make films?

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-make-films.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). Surely there is a streak of masochism in everyone who willingly works on a film set. "Willingly" is a strange word- it can also mean some one who would rather not do something else. Which is actually the case with most people. The phenomenon seems to be alive whether one is a spot boy, an propmaster, a boom swinger or a director. Its all for the cause. Its the cause we serve. We don't choose these things , they choose us. Best wishes and great dishes.

Making of MANJADIKURU: a tale to tell from Guruvayur

http://luckyredseeds.blogspot.com/2008/04/tale-to-tell.html

L U C K Y R E D S E E D S © Little Films (India). A tale to tell from Guruvayur. Manjadikuru/Lucky Red Seeds are found in Krishna temples in Kerala. In fact nowadays, that is the only place we see them. The origin of this practice lies in the folklore of the Guruvayur temple. The temple of Guruvayur houses the deity of Vishnu*, and this particular idol is believed to have been worshipped by Lord Krishna* in Dwaraka. The first time I set eyes on Manjadikuru is in this temple. Hello This post is likeable, ...
