Hello everyone,

Thank you for all the ongoing support.

On September 19th, 2009, ‘A Warrior’s Religion’ was screened to a sold out crowd during the documentary session of the festival.  It was very well received and I was approached by many people in regards to the subject matter.  It is always a great feeling when your work is appreciated and applauded for the different manner in which it was created.  I am more glad everyday that I stuck to my guns and produced a film within a very small genre called ‘poetic documentaries’.

On September 20th, 2009, Sikh Arts & Film Foundation hosted the gala for the Sikh International Film Festival, to my surprise, I was awarded Best Documentary prize along with $5000.

I plan on using the money as seed money to fund my next project if yet again I am unable to secure a producer.  The film world needs to understand that I am not going away, and regardless of no funding, I will continue to make films that evoke thought.

Shout out to Sikh Arts & Film Foundation.  And a very special shout out to Paul Johar, the chair of the film festival, he scouted me, got me out there, and helped spread the message to a broader audience.  Much respect my friend.

Thanks all,
