"Sari (W)rap" at The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles

Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles 2008

I find myself at Arclight the other day at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, specifically to see my pal Rasika Mathur's rap video spoof, "Sari (W)rap!" Here she is with pal Andrea James.

Along for the ride are Chris Scornaienchi who did the music for the video along with his girlfriend Genia and friends Christine and Michelle. The video is part of a compilation of short films. (My Flickr photo-set for this outing is here.)

The whole event is an absolute blast, with the added bonus of running into a friend, Sarba Das, whom I haven't seen since my bright college years.

On Saturday, I'm back there with Dad to see the rest. Our favorites are "Midnight Lost & Found," "Love Story," and "Lost Rainbow."

Another great one is "Three of Us," though it's a little sad. The story is a day in the life of a severely disabled man who lives with his parents in a single room. My father keeps hoping they are only actors, but unfortunately this is not the case. :(
