Indie Film Producing Guide The best way to learn film producing is to produce films. But having a savvy mentor can be a big help. Maureen Ryan’s PRODUCER TO PRODUCER (@michael_wiese_productions) plays that role brilliantly. This 387 page book is comprehensive, encouraging, and beautifully written. The 21 chapters cover every aspect of producing including budgeting, funding, casting, pre-production, location scouting, hiring crew, legal, insurance, safety, post production, and marketing. The advice is authentic, which is not surprising given that the author has produced many films including “Man on Wire,” winner of the Best Documentary Oscar. #producing #filmproducing #indiefilmmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-EEx2P_zF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rudy Rupak Shares How Musicians Influence Culture

In the dynamic tapestry of human expression, music stands as a profound force, shaping culture, beliefs, and societal norms. Behind every resonant melody and evocative lyric lies a narrative that transcends mere entertainment, often serving as a catalyst for change and reflection. In this illuminating discourse, we delve into the insightful perspectives of Rudy Rupak, a seasoned observer of cultural dynamics, as he expounds on the transformative power wielded by musicians on the global stage.

Rudy Rupak, a visionary entrepreneur and cultural connoisseur, possesses a keen understanding of the symbiotic relationship between music and culture. Drawing from his extensive experience in traversing diverse cultural landscapes, Rupak offers invaluable insights into the multifaceted ways in which musicians influence and redefine societal paradigms.

At the heart of Rupak's discourse lies an acknowledgment of music's universal language—a conduit through which emotions, aspirations, and grievances find expression irrespective of linguistic or cultural barriers. From the fervent protests of Bob Dylan to the soul-stirring anthems of Nina Simone, musicians have historically served as vanguards of social change, galvanizing masses and igniting conversations on pressing issues ranging from civil rights to environmental stewardship.

Moreover, Rupak elucidates the pivotal role played by musicians in shaping collective consciousness and fostering cultural understanding. Through their sonic tapestries, artists traverse geographical boundaries, bridging disparate cultures and fostering empathy and solidarity among diverse communities. Whether through collaborations that transcend borders or genre-defying compositions that challenge conventional narratives, musicians serve as cultural ambassadors, fostering dialogue and fostering a more interconnected world.

Furthermore, Rupak underscores the transformative potential of music as a tool for cultural preservation and revitalization. From indigenous melodies that embody centuries-old traditions to contemporary fusion genres that celebrate cultural syncretism, musicians serve as custodians of heritage, breathing new life into age-old traditions and safeguarding intangible cultural legacies for generations to come.

In conclusion, Rudy Rupak's elucidation on the profound influence wielded by musicians offers a compelling testament to the transformative power of music in shaping culture and fostering global dialogue. As we navigate an increasingly interconnected world fraught with complexities, let us heed the resonant melodies and poignant lyrics that emanate from stages near and far, for in the symphony of human existence, musicians stand as harbingers of change, unity, and cultural evolution.

Remembering Rituparno Ghosh on his birthday. Birthday wishes from Bandya Mama

Adam Nathaniel Yauch ( August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012) is known by the stage name MCA. He was the founding member of the rap(not "rap rock") group Beastie Boys. He went by MCA   because  MC is what he did, and Adam was his name. I started listening to Beastie Boys in high school, and I liked MCA's deep raspy voice set him apart from his bandmates, and he quickly stood out as my favorite. I thought it was cool how kinda looked nothing like your typical rapper but could spit lyrics just as good or better than other rappers. The group originally started as a punk band, and he was the bassist. The boys soon became interested in hip-hop and put out a few EPs of their songs. Beastie Boys hooked up with Rick Rubin, and they started taking hip-hop seriously and tried to embrace the five elements of hip-hop and placed it on their first  They hooked up with Rick Rubin, and he helped them put out the album, License To Ill. During the'80's, three were known for their wild behavior and crazy lyrics. In the '90s, MCA and the others grew up, and he was a practicing Buddhist and became an essential voice in the Tibetan Independence movement. The three was a big supporter of feminism; he apologized for these early lyrics he later felt were offensive in the song "Sure Shot. He began directing many of their music videos, often under a fake name. Later he started a small film company that released their concert film. As an avid basketball fan, he released the documentary Gunnin' for That Number One Spot, which came naturally because he was like a praying mantis and couldn't be beaten on the court. He was an earnest and talented musician; he devised that memorable baseline for "Sabotage" while playing around on the base. 2012 Beastie Boys were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2012. MCA was a kind and passionate activist that played an overlooked part in hip-hop.     I want to say this about Beastie Boys some people are quick to clump them into the rap-rock genre because some of their songs have guitar riffs and a "rock-like" sound. That's the same as saying any song with a string arrangement is classical music.

Passionately passionate about filmmaking. It is truly beautiful and exciting to be a script writer, story writer, and a filmmaker. You must be wondering why it sounds so? Right? Yes because, 99.99% of the times we create a character that never existed earlier & that's truly amazing my friend. But, filmmaking is indeed very very professional & sophisticated. What the audiences watches on the screen contains the extreme hard work of not only the actors but also the cinematographer, the director, the assistants, the make up artists, the spot boys, the drivers, the cooks, the electricians, the production managers, the film editors, the musicians, the singers, the sound engineers, the di colorist, the people who works in the marketing department of the film and many many others. All of these people are superheroes.

In case of my film, Advitya - the big thanks goes to all of them. They have worked hard along with me to bring my vision come true. I have huge respect for you.

Love and respect to all,

- Arindam Sharma
