Cleveland International Film Festival

Tomorrow night, Ellie and I are jumping in the car and crossing the great state of Indiana. Oh how I miss Interstate 80, it’s been at least six weeks since I’ve driven that trek.

The Cleveland International Film Festival is going on right now, ‘The Story of Seema” will be showing this Saturday morning March 27th at 9:30AM, if you’re able, I would love to see any of you while I’m home in Ohio. http://www.clevelandfilm.org/festival/films/2010/story-of-seema

Keep checking back, and hopefully I’ll have some pictures to show.

If you are thinking about coming to the Cleveland International Film Festival, please do. I will be at the Saturday March 27th program, I would love to meet you. You can get more information by going here.

If you are wanting more information on Ralph Borde and his work in India please go to http://www.charasia.org/

Many people have ask me about the future of Seema and what I want to do with this subject. At this point, I have two follow-up projects that I would like to do, and a few other ones lingering in the back of my mind.

First, I am working with Ralph Borde of Charasia on a documentary regarding the human-trafficking that is happening in India. This is such a broad subject that it is hard to address it in any one project. But the goal of the film is to expose the major issues and reasons that this problem even exists and what we can do about it. The documentary, I hope, will be a haunting story with a glimmer of hope as we show the work of Charasia.

Second, I have laid out a full length, live action feature for “The Story of Seema.” This will obviously be a more extensive and detailed look at this problem. It would be built off the short, and would follow Seema's life from childhood to her old age. Exploring the life of Seema, an everyman, if you will, mirrors the stories of millions living in India today.

If you are interested in supporting either of these projects, or have any other questions, feel free to email me at pete@claymorepictures.com. I would be happy to talk with you about it.
