UPDATE: march 2014
Anecdote Films announced the completion of filming it's 4 year long project "For the love of a man".
A feature length documentary on the phenomenon of the 17 million fan-following of the Tamil film superstar - Rajinikanth.
This documentary has been a labor of love, it has been running on passion. It is entirely self-funded, with no corporate sponsors. Part of the crew has worked primarily out of their own love for Tamil cinema & Rajinikanth. Now we’re finally moving to a crowdfunding campaign to finish the last stage of the work.

Binger Film Lab
Rinku Kalsy has been selected by Binger Film Lab, to take part in their workshop "Discovery of voice". Led by Arne Bro, head of documentary and TV at the National Film School of Denmark, and Lotte Mik-Meyer. The methods taught in this workshop, will be relevant to filmmakers operating under the limited conditions of smaller European societies, where filmmakers are often confronted with small budgets, limited access to a crew, shooting and editing time, and even lower salaries. It is a challenging workshop using short, practical, and intense camera exercises to recognize, investigate and strengthen one's personal pictorial language.
A Life Worth Living: Pushing the Limits of Duchenne
Jon Hastie has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and is living on borrowed time. His muscles have been wasting away since he was born and he is now almost paralyzed.
This summer he will embark on a journey to meet 6 other guys living with the late stages of the disease. Why so remarkable? Because they are artists, novelists, music promoters and campaigners, who love life and live it to the full! They just wish it didn’t have to end so soon.
