Over and Out

Finally its documentary over (Atleast the filming bit). The edit is scheduled in April and hopefully the documentary will air sometime towards the end of the year.

The final shoot was quite tough. Had to walk up and down Eravikulam National park with all the heavy gear on my back. Sometimes I ended up walking more than 35 KM a day. The night temperates touched sub zero (Never imagined I would experience -6 C in south india) and the days were hot and sweaty.

Also finally managed to climb up Anai Mudi, the tallest peak south of Himalayas. The view from the top is breathtaking. On one side you can have the birds eye view of the whole Eravikulam National park and parts of Valparai in Tamil nadu and on the other side, the jaded peaks of Western ghats.

More photos coming soon …

    That’s what I was waiting and waiting and waiting for that to happen. He didn’t even get to co-direct the first film, he didn’t get to co-direct the second film, he didn’t get to co-direct the last film, then he was going to make this film “Mimi” that he describes, but he ended up getting into fights with producers and DPs.
