 Filmmaker Mostafa Sarwar Farooki recently signed a deal with German producer Christoph Thoke for his upcoming feature film “Television”.
Christoph -- who is most notable for producing Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's (Dardenne brothers) art-house feature “Lorna's Silence” in 2008 -- will join a list of local producers including the director himself and Star Cineplex for the film.
Christoph Thoke has primarily worked as on-air promotion producer for German broadcaster RTL 2 and German-French broadcaster Arte. And last year “Television” received the Asian Cinema Fund award for script development at the last Pusan Film Festival. It was also selected as an official project of Pusan Promotion Plan 2010 [recently renamed as Asian Project Market] and Film Bazaar India 2010.
Although Sarwar Farooki denied to disclose the particular arrangement he and Thoke agreed upon but he said that he believes the deal will be a boost to ambitious local filmmakers who want to reach out to the global audience.
“Television” will be Farooki's fourth feature film. The film will highlight rural characters rather than urbanites -- Farooki's preferred theme so far. He also informed that they are planning to start the shooting in a couple of months.
