Katha, Tinkle & Karadi Tales come from the house of ACK Media. The
well-known and much-loved Suppandi and Shikari Shambhu characters are
also a part of the ACK Media family.
Toronto s
first and foremost International Animation festival, celebrates the
many forms of animation from around the world, supporting and nurturing
the community that creates this art form. SONS OF RAM will be screened
in the presence of its creators on Sunday, 28th July, 2013 at 12:30 noon
at the prestigious TIFF Bell Lightbox.
SONS OF
RAM (written and directed by Kushal Ruia), tells the story of twins Luv
and Kush and their journey to their roots, with the great Indian epic
RAMAYANA as its backdrop. Complete with a cast of lovable and relatable
characters, the film is an epic coming-of-age adventure told with global
sensibilities and beautiful art. Both children and adults will love
this story for its balance of entertainment with meaningful and relevant
themes.
Kushal Ruia, writer / director of
Sons of Ram & Head, ACK Animation Studios, says, The genuine
outpouring of love and praise for the film s storytelling and
characters, on its release in India, was momentous. Now, to have SONS OF
RAM play at TAAFI is even more so for me because as a Sheridan
Animation alumnus, I learned all I know about animation and film right
here! Though SONS OF RAM is a very small film compared to what North
American audiences are generally used to, the story has a big heart, is
told with bucket-loads of passion and was made against all odds by a
ridiculously talented bunch of people. I hope the audiences here will
connect with Sons of Ram, just like Indian audiences did.
