********************************************************************** GOA LINKS, ISSUES, NETWORKING, KNOWLEDGE, SUGGESTIONS ********************************************************************** FILM VENTURE SEEKING PEOPLE TO PARTNER WITH: A tiny Goan film-making venture is looking for people to partner with it. Not just for acting or funding, but more for ideas on what and how such an activity could help better things in Goa.
Based in Goa, they’re looking at: * Maybe starting a training school, for modelling, acting and film-making. Getting the best professional training in Goa, so local talent can attend a course, get themselves polished a bit and our youth and their talent can be exposed to and be an active part of the worldwide film-making industry - with the excitement and pizzazz included there-in. * Of having teams of trained people able to handle such requirements, so that there's business for locals. After training and working in Goa they'll be exposed to the latest in technology and can then also move to jobs wherever. An option not available in Goa currently. * Make Goa a preferred destination for film-makers, with local support and local production crews,- and we can avoid the mess like what we have seen recently – where Bollywood folk come in to Goa and abuse our facilities, sensibilities and everything else! If in film-making, etc. and interested in supporting or being part-of such an activity in Goa, get in touch.
