Requiem is a story about a father who has lost in daughter. still re-living memories of her, he wanders looking for solace.
This is the first video I shot with my brand new DVX 100, it was more like a test video I shot while on a trip to a small town In south India.
Put my Dad in it and my niece, just a small experiment. I edited this almost after 2 years for a couple of hours today 24 october 2008.
Let me know what you guys think.
This is a Video I directed for a Documentary film about the Indian Film Industry, the film ends with the Film maker himself a part of a Bollywood song.
It’s a spoof of a very popular song actually & We shot it in a day with one day of pre-production. But it was a lot of fun and the people were great. and ofcourse my friend’s dancing skills is spectacular.
This is small Experimental Dance Project we made in mid march 2009. The Dance form is contemporary mixed with traditional art form.
Performed by Veena Basavarajaih and Directed and conceptualised by Swaroop Kanchi.
The version up is still a sort of a demo version with unfinished & demo sound.
Acid is a film about two lovers who cant seem to find a way out of their drug addiction. They have the right intent & dreams and a desire to lead a normal life.
But somehow stuck in a weave of bad karma doesnt help.
We shot this film in LA. The film stars Chris Cunningham & sabrina Bolin. Directed by swaroop Kanchi & produced by ALex Kazan.
This was my first feature film, I was 16 when I started to work on this film and I was 18, very angry, wrinkled and aged and very enlightened by the time this was done.
3 Big producers came & went, more than 800 actors auditioned, I got broke, cornered and ridiculed. But the film happened.
2 years of pre-production and we took exactly 5 days to shoot the film as I didnt have any money & ended up producing it myself. everyday we shot for 18 to 20 hours, double shifts, triple shifts. One helluva experience. My dp got arrested, some of my actors barely escaped getting arrested for drug possession and after all that the film commission refused to censor the film in India.
it premiered at the New York Film Festival and got me some good projects in the US. we had a few underground screenings and overall the film was tagged a ‘cult classic’. I love the tag but dont know what to make of it. all in all the experience makes me remember a line in the movie
The documentary about the biggest congregation in the world.
On the outskitrts of a sleepy town Nasik in North India 9 crore people gather to celebrate, sing, dance and discuss, debate & exhibit spirituality, mysticism and Himalayan Yogic accomplishments and to meditate, pray & bathe in the Ganges at this spiritual event held every 12 years.
