Movie audiences view Ravi’s surreal and inglorious journey to the stuff of movie legend through the hand­‐held lens of an amateur documentary crew. Naturally, Ravi fully expects that, this Film, the making of his film, to be a glossy, showbiz tale of one man’s meteoric rise to the top.

A Raffaello Degruttola film, this video was shot on the Isle of Man during the islands recent film festival and is a part of a feature length mocumentary called 'FLIM the making of'. Think, Spinal Tap of the Indie film world. Raffaello plays the part of Ravi, an Indian film director who's taking the leap from Bollywood to Hollywood. I was also at the Isle of Man Film Festival and was asked to take part in a little skit that would be used to help promote the film. I ended up acting in it (my acting debut), as well as editing the 3 minute video. We shot this in just over an hour and with no script, EVERYTHING was improvised!

The Joyous Living Magazine "Flim...is a very clever, very funny mockumentary. Raff as Ravi is wickedly funny and frighteningly authentic. Simply put 'Flim, the Movie' does for filmmaking what 'Spinal Tap does for rock music....a wonderful farce" Blogomatic 3000 "A showcase of many talented stars showing off their comedy skills. A can't miss movie for anyone who's ever dreamed of making their own movie" WhooNew Magazine "A documentary style comedy....a ducumentary about the making of a documentary that relied heavily on improvisation.
