Its been long time since our first post. Its because we had very hectic schedule to follow. We are proud to say that our documentary project has been nominated at Crowdfunding Initiator, India's first residential bootcamp. 

The project has been presented at GTU innovation council. We met lot of people, talked to them about our film, shared ideas and had some fruitful conversation to take this project up to a next level. We have received great response from mentors. They made us think how far we can go, and what could be the impact on society. Similarly we worked on forecast for upcoming 2 years and developed marketing strategy.

Explaining the forecast and strategies to mentors My friend and associate writer for the film Parth Vyas has been researching on effects of FDI in multibrand retail and amendment of IPR Act and its pros and cons. in the back end we are also developing royalty based revenue model for musicians. now you see, WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A FILM!

on 11th July our project has been launched at closing ceremony of crowdfunding initiator. our crowdfunding campaign video includes first glance to our documentary. It has gone live on http://www.start51.com/project/film-and-video/the-connoisseurs-journal and within 24 hours we have received great response from the people and local musicians. If you like what you see, help us and pay your tribute to independent music. We have 51 days to reach our target. If you are musician, music lover or music has done something to you, this is your chance to give something back to music.
