Anil Baral is an America-raised Nepali film-maker
who is finishing up his studies at the prestigious
Film School at the New York University (NYU).
He was recently in Kathmandu, and we got together
for some guff-suff: about films, about the challenge
of writing screenplays, about life in Nepal and
America, about young people in both countries,
American politics and so on.
Since Anil -- who has worked in Hollywood as an
assisant director in some of the big studio
productions -- is presently working on some
Nepal-related screenplays, there was much for
us to talk about.
Anil also mentioned that, for money on the side,
he at times produces commercials for business houses: so,
if any of you want your Nepal-related business ko
commercials, shot in New York, you should get in
touch with Anil.
Though writing a screenplay is NOT something
I am working on at the moment, it was nontheless
fun to discuss some ideas with him. Anil will be back
in Kathmandu later this summer to shoot a full-length
feature film based in Nepal. When that happens,
it would be great to see a sensitive, passionate
director at work on a theme common to Nepal.
