Feature film in 2006?



Narco and I discussed work for 2006 and a feature film Raiy Kulhi might be in the offing. Raiy Kulhi was originally written by Shareef as a poem, then a screenplay, but now Narco and I have re-written the script with significant changes. But we've kept Shareef's characters, basic story, and some of the verses.

The photo shows a brackish area of Nalandhoo in Shaviyani Atoll, which we hope to use as a location for the film. However, it will all depend on whether we're able to raise funds for the production.

On another note, I managed to contact one of the female pioneers who climbed Kala Pattar in Nepal in 1990. She told me that three and not four, as I had reported, Maldivian girls reached the summit. The fourth girl in the group was, in fact, Nepalese. In any case I left a dvd of the footage we filmed with the one I spoke to.

I hope to have her views on the video and also for her to confirm whether they summitted the higher or lower peak of Kala Pattar.

It would also be nice to have an interview with her.

Al,
Is there anything I can do to help over a day or two whilst in Male? It'd be good to get some experience or at least be of some use!

shaaxu, nobody's been cast yet so everyone is welcome to audition...if hilath's in the film will you be his leading lady? i only say this because sharif told me that he could see a lot of chemistry between you two on the blog. i might add that sharif might also be making a film some time this year, so there's plenty of opportunity for actors...and shanu, i've always wanted to make a film called "happundu" but sadly this film cannot be it as there's no arecanut chewing or spitting in it...

"sharif n shanu", nice title for a film don't you think?also now that i think of it, shaaxu is probably right...sharif also has a thing for females who's names start with "sh" or, has it in the middle...that's why he likes both shaaxu and shanu, i think...and, of course, because of the the chemistry...

shaazu..damn! i was trying to mask the chemistry all this time! guess theres no escaping u :P hehe..

Al thats a really dry title.. u should have come up with a more jucier one.. infused with as much chemistry as me and sharif..

sharif since when does the person whose name is in the title has to act.. and is that an insult to me saying u wont act in it..is it coz my names up there with yours??!!@## humphss!@##$@

I think Shaaxu and I would not need another film to star in together because Al said that we both might appear in interviews in the final version of the Nepal documentary. Al's excuse is that Shaaxu and me are Muha's girl friend and, er, male friend, respectively, but I wonder (you listening Yasir?) whether it's really because there is so much chemistry between Shaaxu and me? Hope Muha is not too jealous and will still allow us to go surfing together.
