Y Crazy Mind

The most passive role to hatred is ignorance. Simply by ignoring the plight of others we can focus on our “truth” being the only valid reality. Artists have often led the charge in opposing this idea, filmmakers in particular. The medium of film is at present the most effective means of inhabiting the lives, experiences, and emotions of other people. Producer Carina Chavda worked with critically acclaimed writer-director Manjari Makijany and Emmanuel Pappas on the equally popular and provocative film I See You. The story explores the mind of a would be terrorist bomber and the events which have led him to this juncture. Chavda and Makijany collaborated with two-time BAFTA winning composer Marius De Vries, Aaron Glascock (Academy-Award-Nominated sound designer of BirdMan ), and post-production from Warner Brothers on this film screened at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival, New York Indian Film Festival, and winner of Best Film at the 40th Asian American Film Festival in...

Belinda Bennett is an author based in the UK. She specialises in writing novellas and short reads. Her new release, currently a 'hot new release' in the British and Irish short story section on Amazon, is called Midlife Crisis . We have conducted an interview with her. How long have you been specialising in writing novellas and short reads? Why novellas? My first short story was considered by a publisher when I was just nine years old, so I’ve been writing fiction all my life. Like many people, I am daunted by ‘big books’. I’ve got a busy life, so the prospect of me finishing a book that runs to hundreds of pages is pretty slim. I write for people just like me; those who like a short, satisfying read that entertains them - something they can digest on the commute to work, during lunch breaks and in the evenings. Which perspectives and point of views did you take in writing your book 'Midlife Crisis'? Midlife Crisis was inspired by my memory of the ...

I started in this genre five years ago, but, I've been writing one form of fiction or another for over twenty. What inspired you to write "The Korpes File"? It started as a world-building exercise; I was working with a game design group and thought their story needed some depth. What began as a series of conversations and soundbites led to short stories and when the game was put on hiatus, the work I'd put in was released back to me. Several characters transitioned to the books from that experience(yes, " The Korpes File " is part of a series). Who is your favorite character? Unfair question; that's like asking someone to pick their favorite...
