RGV Unveils Unique “Youth Film” Concept in World Cinema History
Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) today unveiled his groundbreaking concept of a “Youth Film” during a press meet at his den. Addressing the media, RGV explained that viewers themselves would decide the fate of the movie, including its cast, director, cinematographer, and other technicians, through an online voting system on his website, rgvden.com. Within a span of six months, RGV plans to produce and release the film based on the selected choices made by the audience.
The storyline of the film will also be crowdsourced through the website, with actors, directors, directors of photography (DOPs), music directors, and others encouraged to apply. Interested applicants will go through shortlisting by RGV’s team based on audience votes. Subsequently, auditions will be conducted, with the final selection of cast and crew members being determined by the preferences of the viewers.
For instance, out of 1000 applicants for the lead role, RGV’s team will shortlist 50 candidates and present them on the website. Following this, auditions will be held, and the actor who garners the most favor from the audience will be chosen as the protagonist. Similar processes will be followed for other departments such as the heroine, director, DOP, and music director.
This unique initiative emphasizes people’s participation, allowing them to have a say in the filmmaking process from start to finish. Whether it’s for the people, by the people, or of the people, this “Youth Film” concept by RGV transcends language barriers, engaging filmmakers from various linguistic backgrounds through his den.
RGV’s den is not just a physical space; it symbolizes a virtual hub of creative collaboration, where the audience plays a pivotal role in shaping the narrative of the film. With this innovative approach, RGV aims to democratize filmmaking, making it more inclusive and interactive than ever before.
As the curtains rise on this pioneering venture, cinephiles eagerly anticipate witnessing the power of collective decision-making in shaping the cinematic landscape. With RGV leading the charge, the “Youth Film” promises to redefine the boundaries of creativity and audience engagement in Indian cinema.
