"Can a film be conceived and the characters chosen online? Of course, says filmmaker Shyam Madhavan Sarada of Wannabe Studios." Click here to read more in The Hindu Note: Wannabe Studios is not responsible for errors and omissions in the media article.

Well, these things happen! The Global Cinema Festival has now reversed their rejection and ONAN, India's first full-length guerrilla feature film, is now an OFFICIAL SELECTION in the VISTA INDIA section...

India's first full-length guerrilla feature film (and that's ONAN, our film) is of no interest to the Global Cinema Festival :-( But the chameleon plods on - there are many more film festivals to go! Run, ONAN, run :-)

wannabestudios is relieved that ONAN has reached Sundance. (Their shortlist will be published in the first week of December)
