Winner of 3 International Awards for his Short Film 'The Letter', Goa born writer-director T-Bush is back with a full length, mega feature film entitled 'BLACK'.
The film by 'T-Bush International Films' shot entirely in Kuwait is set for a grand release on August 10, 2007 at Al Masrah, Hawally Auditorium.
The LetterT-Bush's first directorial debut 'The Letter', a moving story of a father who desires to recreate a lost relationship with his estranged daughter was awarded 'Best Film' at the International Short Film Festival at London in 2005. The short film has all the appearances of being shot in the United States. But the truth is that the entire movie was shot at locales in Kuwait. T-Bush used a troupe of eager volunteers from the American Embassy in Kuwait to ensure his film had an authentic cast of characters and he included numerous dashes of Americana in the sets to complete the impression of the film being shot in US. The editing process, however, was so superior and advanced that it altogether altered scenes that didn't have an American feel.
'The Letter' also won T-Bush Best Technical Award and Best Director from among hundreds of directors of International fame and repute. T-Bush came into immediate recognition through this film and there was no turning back for the gifted director.

The new film written, directed and produced by T-Bush under his production banner 'T-Bush International Films' will be in Konkani language and will include a select Indian cast from Kuwait. The entire film is shot in Kuwait but the audience is sure to have a surprise when they see it.
The young genius who is passionate about film making with his adept and innovative ideas is optimistic about 'BLACK' being an 'extraordinary movie'. He says, "The whole story has a simple plot. But for all the briskness of the plot, quite a lot happens." He further adds that, "It's a colossal effort creating a full-fledged movie considering the ups in a working country like Kuwait with schedules of shoot crammed up only at weekends and at select locations approved by Kuwait government at limited scenic sites."
The film will be screened on a wide screen with high quality 'E-Cinema Technology' projection. It is sure to be an entertaining film and certain to capture hearts of all communities. The most essential element that will make the film an even more rewarding experience will be the audio-visual effect synchronized into a 5.1 DTS sound.
T-Bush says he has no immediate intentions of converting the movie into home videos which he feels will degrade the originality and standard of the movie.
Synopsis
The movie revolves around a musician who is involved in trivial assignments of traditional music. Culture and music means everything to the self-born maestro who just cannot give up on his passion for music. His effort to persuade the young genre to keep the art living in the face of fading tradition runs to an emotional zenith as the movie unfolds."
VisionThere are countless regional language films that are released every year not to mention mega blockbusters in Hindi that hit the international market. But when it comes to Konkani language, it is a rarity. According to T-Bush, "Konkani film producers are more accustomed in making low budget, sub-standard home videos rather than endeavoring in films of international quality."
The first Konkani film, 'Mogacho Aunddo' on silver screen released on 24th April 1957 still stands among one of the most unmatched, classic Indian films made in history.
The exceptional director further adds, "The joy of working in films is great, but I always yearn for excellence. I wish to make my projects in a new way and with new ideas. Numerous movies of different languages are released every year with different writers, directors and casts. But the only common thread to a captivating movie is the director's genius. Each story must stand alone and be engrossing and engaging by themselves. Each must be as successful, clever and unique as the others."
Over the years, the young director has contributed incredible behind-the-scenes support to many stage shows and dramas with his audio-visuals and directional inputs.
Right from his childhood days T-Bush has been living with a dream, and that is to contribute in the attempt of giving regional language films their rightful place on the map of cinema world. His effort in 'creating strength out of thin air' with the release of BLACK is sure to establish T-Bush as a director of immense potential and caliber.Since his early teens at St. Joseph's Convent - Nagoa, Salcete - Goa, T-Bush has visualized the world around him. At the Goa College of Arts he gained a strong dispersal of ideas to see things in a new vision. And to set himself on the road to professionalism and perfection, T-Bush graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art, majoring in Audio-Visual from the Goa University, India.
He further mastered the Art of Film Making and TV Production at the London Film School, United Kingdom with the main intention of sharing his dreams with the world.
