Difficult Business of Flimmakers in NY

Film making is difficult business and two filmmaker friends in NY make strides in 2010:

• Shailja Gupta released her first film Walkaway in October, about the "meanders of Indian matrimony" among people "with one feet in NY and one in India".
• Manolo Celi whose short film Neuva York about US Hispanics in "the canvas of NY" I enjoyed at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, made major progress with Tony Tango.
