I went early to Checkpost and digitized the problem DV tapes, over and over until I got the bits I needed to piece the rest of the music together. It is a painstaking process. Sohail sahib showed me a very cool stopmotion project that he had dp’d. I hope to see it finished one day. It is a reminder as to how many great efforts never see the light of day, despite a great deal of work, just because life gets in the way. I don’t want that to happen to “Risalo”. It would be very easy to let go at any point, with all the challenges and the enormity of the project, but no, I started this because I want it to be made and for it to reach the world.
