He has developed a distinctive style infused with urgency, informed by the unique qualities of his Sikh heritage.\r\nHis recent acclaimed film "The Last Goodbye" addresses the Indian phenomenon of "farmer suicide," a tragic, all-too-common side-effect of rampant government corruption. The film gained national exposure when it aired on a UK Sikh television station, reaching millions of avid viewers.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe talk about the challenges of gaining traction in an out-of-the-way area hours from the nearest major filmmaking hub. We discuss what it takes to weather the storms of adversity, and the importance of community support.\r\n\r\n\r\nI'm personally so impressed with Ranjeet's passion. I think his story is a wonderful example of what sheer focus and determination can do - with a little help from luck and family.","author_name":"Anywhere But Hollywood: Working in Film, Living in the World | Filmmaking,Crowdfunding,Animation,Screenwriting","author_url":"http:\/\/anywherebuthollywood.com","html":"
