I went for a morning walk through Lohari in the walled city with my friend Imran. We had some nihari. I wanted to be a bit adventurous and ordered the brain nihari. Ok, never again. It was kind of rejuvenating to walk around the city. Afterwards, I head back with Imran to his place and we discussed possible approaches to the puppetry in “Risalo”. There are a lot of logistical and artistic decisions to be made.He offered me a room in his home to shoot the film. Not only that, but he called up several of his friends who work in film to assist me in this project. It really helped to boost my own energy levels to get some outside input and begin the process of connecting to more ideas and possibly resources here in Lahore. There are so many possibilities. Time to explore.
