Gal i Nepal

In showbiz today are going to focus on a comedy film “Gal i Nepal” in Norwegian which translates to “Crazy in Nepal” in English by a Norwegian filmmaker which I caught up in Kickstarter. For people who are unaware of Kickstarter, it is a platform for people who love to express their ideas and desires through film making. Several creative projects have raised funds by Kickstarter.


By the foot of the Himalayas in Nepal there is an area called Mustang. There exists a very peculiar marriage tradition. In this remote area, parents traditionally decide who their children are going to marry. However, a loophole exists in which a boy can kidnap a girl and keep her captive at a neutral family’s home for three days whilst he attempts to convince her that she should marry him instead. If she says no, he has to let her go, but if she agrees, her family cannot oppose her decision and have to accept their new son-in-law into the family.

The Norwegian director Carl-Magnus spent many of his childhood years in Nepal, and is looking to crowdfunding to make a comic film of this unusual tradition. The production will give jobs and money to the Nepalese people, as it will be filmed on their location. If the funding target is achieved, it will also be the first ever successful crowdfunded movie to come out of Norway. It will be a monumental occasion for the nation’s independent filmmakers.

Mylo Carbia changing the Image of Hollywood Writers

Movies and literature always go hand in hand. Those who love writing will also like movies and the vice versa is also true in most cases. On the topic in Show Biz blog today - about Horror movie writing.
Off late, I've been reading and following the works of upcoming famous horror movie writer Mylo Carbia. She sure is making a splash these days. First by announcing her move into the literary world (specifically that she’s writing the first of five horror novels featuring strong and scary female protagonists), then we hear she’s co-producing OnRide Entertainment’s teen horror flick Night of Thrills. Then last night we see her among the Fashion Glitterati with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, PitBull, Ryan Seacrest, Naomi Campbell, KISS and Justin Beiber at CBS’s Fashion Rocks concert in honor of New York Fashion Week! Talk about likes et all.
So my question is, since when did wallflower scribes get so badass cool? 

Not since Quentin Tarantino or Diablo Cody have we seen anyone break the “writer nerd” stereotype (let alone serve as Calvin Klein muse) in such a big way.


Definitely looking forward to seeing what’s in this writer’s warped but strangely alluring mind both on the screen and page late next year. Whatever it is, I have a feeling it will definitely scare the hell out of me. Looking forward, err, to get scared!

A platform dedicated for the film makers

Showbiz is amongst the most promising industries since they value skills of an individual which helps their industry grow. Film industry has always stayed on the cards of the most lucrative career since it’s a medium which bought entertainment to each and every person. There are many forms of entertainment but till date we see films have portrayed more than what other mediums have done. Filming a movie is a huge task and after all the hard work if it’s reach is not what the director expected it will bring him and the production down. The business is full of many ups and downs but there are many films which have the goodness in it but still can’t reach the people because they lack the platform from where they can reach their desired audience. 

The Culver City Film Festival is providing the right platform for the films which helps films makers showcase their work to the world. The entries are open and it’s easy to submit the works since the submissions are online. The Film festival has a wide range of genres and categories include: Animation, Documentary, Experimental, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Indie, and both short and feature films. When we caught up with the Festival Director Jon Gursha he was confident that many film makers will be able to use this platform to the fullest. The Culver City Film Festival is located in Los Angeles and we expect a lot of celebrity will be there to witness this Film festival.
