The Artists: Arts, Culture, and Cinema with Suchita Bhhatia

What is considered a good film in today's over saturated content market ?
I saw a post by a film critic on 47 Indian language films getting released in a day and how is that justifying the audience going and watching the films.

And that became the germ of this episode-
Our guest for today is the CEO of distribution and film services vertical at the UFO MOVIEZ , Mr. Pankaj Jaysinh.

He has worked closely with the distribution department of Warner bros, Columbia Tri-Star and Sony pictures.

Some revelations:

1) Do people go and watch films because they are good? Do we want to see good story telling or we want other cherries with it?

2) Everyone is here to make monies -so a good film , smaller films gets picked up
Every movie small or big has a space.

4)Has the definition of a good film changed?

5)distribution is getting more and more professional dynamic and hands on

And the road maps that small filmmakers and small films should know before they embark on their journey.

Do you know that your brain works in different frequencies through out the day- from the time you get up to the time you fall asleep, and while you are sleeping!; these frequencies are defined as beta, alpha, theta, gamma, delta. It is being researched and proven that the slower your brain wave frequency, the better your mental and physical health. It is also being researched that slower brain wave frequency, gives you access to your subconscious mind- and it is being proven that our life, our decisions, our behaviour - in-fact, who we are, 95 percent of it, is controlled by our subconscious mind and 5 percent by our conscious mind. So, whats the big deal here? The big deal is that, we do-not know, that 95 percent of the time, we take decisions that are controlled by our subconscious programming.

And, if we access our subconscious mind and re- programme it according to the WE that we want to become, or the life that we want to create, we will be able to manifest and fulfil the life, we exactly want to live.

So, again how do we do this?

By being able to control our brain waves and access our subconscious mind more frequently and reprogram it.

Mediations are a way to do it. And, since i have been digging into this bit for quite sometime- i mystically came across this book- change your brain waves by Scholars and researchers Yukio and Susanne who explain this phenomenon through the practise of chantings.

This episode is cross-overed between our two shows THE SOS SHOW AND THE ARTISTS.

One of the most important thing in any film, and more so in a regional or an independent films is the camaraderie between the director and the DOP, where the two have to work together to not just design the film effectively, but also to deliver the film within a time span- to shoot the film in those number of days.
The most effective camaraderie is a good friendship.

Our guests are Darshan Trivedi, the director, and Tapan Vyas the DOP, on to their 5th film together, that is releasing on Jan 19th.

Also, a great point that we should always get reminded of- it is a great joy to work with people who understand the purpose of cinema. It is greater joy and good fortune if your film gets to the theatres.

Some key take aways is: Filmmaking especially for a director takes so much energy that it affects all area of their life, personal professional and- so be mindful when choosing to take this as a profession.
Be very mindful in collaborating with people, and choose only the ones who have a true passion for cinema and are not there just for money or fame or other extracurricular activities that they think is glamour.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU ALL YOU LOVELY LISTENERS OUT THERE-

We were to release this episode at the end of 2023- but we are a very small team running this podcast independently, and so we mugged it up.

But, also this year we have decided to go out with a begging bowl and look for some funding support for our podcast- we also got inspired from this episode to do that.

So, any of you would like to sponsor us, fund us, support us in some way- even a small amount goes a long way in supporting and increasing the production quality of the show and reaching you with some great content.

And, if you want a bigger association, we can mention your name and support as a patron on the podcast.
Please connect with us. You can also join our insta handle that we have regularly started posting on- the.artistspodcast.

And back to the episode with our wonderful guests- Dr. Pushpinder Chowdhry and Rita Meher.

Did you know that the representation of Asians and South Asians is under 5 and 3 percent in the main stream film industry?
And, it's an arduous task to run a film festival?
But, more importantly, why should you submit your film to a specific festival? And why should the audience go to a specific festival?

Pushpinder Chowdhry is the founder of the longest running Asian film festival in the UK- The UKAFF, and Rita Meher is the founder of a prominent South Asian film festival in the U.S, Tasveer South Asian film festival.

Enjoy.

This snacky episode of THE ARTISTS podcast condenses our year 2023,our journey, insights, memorable moments and the most heard episodes.

"At the beginning of the year, we kicked off with our 115th episode, delving into the making of 'Joyland' with one of our favourite filmmakers. In total, we've clocked 27 episodes, averaging around 2 and a half episodes each month, even with a festive break and our other commitments. Not too shabby!"

According to Spotify Wrapped data, our most downloadable episode was number 123, '9000 Feature Length Films.' Thank you to all the amazing guests who contributed to the diverse discussions on our podcast. Your engagement, messages, and social media tags have meant the world to us." Also our episode 121 on REACHING ACTORS was specially acknowledged by a lot of listeners- genuinely trying to make good cinema. We had a good listenership of Ep 130 the only episode on documentaries. We also spoke at length on audience in small towns in Ep 139.

We didn't shy away from controversial topics either.

In our snacky episodes, we ranted about ChatGPT, algorithms, and even took on the Oscars.

Our special series on "artists and mental health" covered crucial topics like synchronicities, forgiveness therapy, ambition, vulnerabilities—all vital qualities in the life of an artist."

"We dived into some significant events, such as the WGA strike in episode 126. Exploring the business side, we shared insights on building arts and culture startups in episode 136 and discussed the genius of Shakespeare in episode 140. Not to forget, our deep dives into Oppenheimer and Barbie in our snacky episode."
