Why? What? How?

Many of us long for good films.  We wonder why so many  stories that bring meaning to our lives are not being made into films.  Despite huge availability of such stories  in tamil and other languages, the commercial environment is not conducive for their production as films.

Kolam – direct to home cinema movement is an effort to provide an alternative outside this system.  We intend to produce three to five full length  digital video movies every year. Is this possible ? Yes. It is possible and feasible if only thousands of lovers of good cinema make their contributions before the movies are made.

What should you do then ? Please send the pre registration amount of Rs. 500 towards the  DVD of the first movie before September 15, 2009to us. We will commence shooting in October. The movie will be completed in November and the original dvd will directly reach your homes.

If a few thousand cinema lovers keep sending the pre registration money of Rs. 500 every three months, good short stories, novels in Tamil and other languages, socially relevant concepts, new  creators and artistes capable of such productions will keep meeting you regularly at your homes through the dvds. Kolam is the direct meeting point for creators and viewers. Like the numerous dots of a kolam pattern, viewers are everywhere. Kolam movement is a movement of creators who would  join these dots to draw a beautiful pattern

Please kep telling everyone of your friends about this effort. Ask them to translate this dream into a reality by pre-registering  for their DVDs. A timely action is more important than the action. Let your pre registration amounts flood us before September 15 and amaze us .

Let us join hands to pull this dream-cart into reality.
