PNC coming up with Guerilla Flicks

PNC i.e. Pritish Nandy Communications is trying their hands at something that is a completely new concept in Indian cinema. It is heard that they will launch new filmmakers who have eccentric film ideas. The idea is to make films, which outwardly seem almost impossible as profitable business ventures.
Pritish Nandy explained that it was an unconventional idea but that’s the whole point of cinema. They at PNC are there to take chances. Hence they are launching a new series called Guerrilla Flicks.
Nandy also said that according to him Guerrilla flicks are the true movies. It is a genre of cinema that is innovative in approach and will include comedy, action and more. They will be non-star and non-profit films. To make a Guerrilla Flick, all they need is vision.
Filmmakers mostly treat films as moneymaking ventures and do not take risks. He added that he is shocked to see that today’s so-called big filmmakers only talk of enormous budgets and ridiculous targets. They don't want to make films. All the films under Guerrilla Flicks will be small budget ventures with small stars but big cinema.
Arindam Mitra is shooting the first film from the ten-film series. Nandy has big plans for his new project. They want a grasp of unconventional talents including some of the biggest ad-makers of the country. All they need to do is direct the film and believe in PNC. Every director, big or small, has a secret wish of making a film that is completely his own vision.
To prevent this experiment from turning into a disaster, the head honcho of PNC will look into every script personally.
He also said that PNC is not afraid of losses. Thankfully so far they have had only two loss-making ventures including Ismail Merchant’s The Mystic Masseur and Kabir Sadanand’s Popcorn Khao! Mast Ho Jao.
