About
the Story:
Holly - Bolly is a 12 min comedy film about two young film
makers Obi and Dil as they journey into the world of Independent
films. The films they like making are innovative and non mainstream
but they just can't funding for them. In steps the shady Big
Al played by the giant 7ft actor Jeff Rudom. He's the only
man in town willing to give the boys money for film making
- unfortunately for the boys - it's money to make a Big Al
film! His film is the ultimate cross genre flick a mix of
English Cockney Gangster and Indian Bollywood. In 12 minutes
'Holly - Bolly' will take you through Gangster hold ups, debates
on racial stereotypes, Martial Arts sequences and yes a big
song and dance Number..
Movie Review and links:
- IMDB:
An enjoyable short film. It's excellent visual narrative
and great script make this probably one of the best shorts
i've seen this year. Dishad combines many different styles
and genres of film-making seamlessly whilst putting the
audience's tongue firmly in its cheek. It's story of how
two film-makers are forced to make a Bollywood gangster
film set in the east end of London, will surely ring true
for any aspiring artist who's ever had an dream crushed
by someone who doesn't share their vision. (And if anyone
can crush someone's dream its the rather large producer
character known as big Al.)
