DESMOND NAZARETH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is a US-based, IIT-Madras educated mechanical engineer whose heart is into film-making. One of his present ideas is to work on issues related to Portuguese colonial history in India and Sri Lanka. Under the working title of 'Souls and Spice', the movie plan is in an early stage. "We've got some 40 hours of footage, two-thirds of it is interviews and one-third is location shooting. Our plan is to have 60 hours, before we cull that down into a one-hour proposal. Our ultimate goal is a documentatary series of six to seven hours," says he. Des, whom we ran into here, adds: "People say, why not take on a simple project and make a movie on it. But there are hundreds of people doing that. There's no challenge. This is a subject where I don't have the answers...." He can be contacted via email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or tel 6342814 or 9820 426035 (cell). He lives at Versova in Mumbai when in India.
