TIIMMC

The last movie we made - "A Matter Of Choice" - met with unprecedented publicity. The movie was of course for a good cause, so many people have been asking for copies to show to family & friends. Colleagues & relatives have shown the movie in their own offices. Even in Youtube, there has been more than a 1000 hits - a first for TIIMMC videos. And this happened in the span of 3 weeks!

The icing on the cake was when the Prime Minister of India also watched a couple of scenes from "A Matter Of Choice". People are often intrigued at hearing this. The explanation is of course pretty simple! The Marketing team was going to demonstrate a projector made by our company to the Prime Minister. He chose to use a couple of scenes from our movie for the demonstration!

Sushma claims that she cracks up at the thought of the Prime Minister watching us - it's usually we who see him on TV! Swapna joked that the Prime Minister did not see the whole movie after all! But I say that there is some sort of a poetic justice in his seeing only two scenes - when we are surfing channels, we typically change the channel after seeing him for a couple of scenes!

The movie is, of course, posted in Youtube in two parts - for all to watch. They are also embedded in the first post of this Blog.


Our Managing Director (now 'President') watched the movie when we screened it in the Auditorium on World Environment Day. He liked the movie - the whole concept - and wanted to meet the Green Leaders & Movie Making Club teams. We had a brief meeting with him today (there was cake also!) The Green Leaders had a few slides on what they did. I wanted to present for TIIMMC - but then I decided that we should not present foils.... we should do what we do best!

Well, here is what we presented.
