Sandeep chose to introduce the film to the audience at various cafes, bars, restaurants, art galleries, office spaces, homes, church halls, virtually any alternative space that was available. He has done these screenings in India, US and Singapore. This is what makes Hola Venky edgy, contemporary, and in sync with new audience that is technology-savvy. Sandeep writes and directs "personal" films which he believes in.
Hola Venky is available –
Hola
Venky is
Sandeep’s second feature film and is being distributed through what he calls 'The Great Indian Traveling Cinema.' He
travels with the movie to various alternative spaces within the country and
shows the movie, charging people on donation basis on a ‘Pay as you Wish, if you Wish Concept’. He carries a Projector, and
projects the movie on a wall or any screen.
The
fun part of these screenings for him is that he gets to interact with his
audience immediately after they have seen the movie. Also, the audience is
happy since they get to see the movie at a space and time convenient for them,
and they decide what to pay or if you pay. Till now, Sandeep has travelled
with Hola Venky to many cities in India, US and Singapore and
have had close to 90 screenings. The director intends to travel to more spaces
even after the online release.”
Sandeep
feels that his audience is urban, niche, the office, new age audience who have
a universal sensibility and hence it is better to focus on an online release
since his audience is technology savvy. This is one of the reason Sandeep
believes in taking Hola Venky on the traveling cinema route as
he wanted to figure out a way to screen his movie to the audience at a space
and time convenient for them.
