Kamal kept his word again, this time about the Chennai International Screenwriting Workshop being just a start. The batch of 250 people who attended are invited to meet Jean-Claude Carriere in person on June 19!

Additionally, the official Web-site / blog is flowing with more information starting with a message from Kamal. Here are some excerpts:

No one has the final word on this business yet. For that matter, any business.

I have a clear vision for our crowd, a dream if you fancy it. My vision though, should never be mistaken for a directive or a rule. I can only blaze this trail with willing walkers. Leading is not the top priority for me… reaching our goal is.

The screenwriting workshop is a means to an end. One good way to tell a story is when you have decided the end. I have.

Also, there are:

• Movies recommended by Kamal for their scripts (dominated by European movies and including Amelie, Ennadhaan Mudivu, Kallukkul Eeram and Paruththiveeran among others)
  
• Kamal’s recommendations on movies based on books (including A Clockwork Orange, The Last Temptation of Christ, Trainspotting, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Forrest Gump and of course the godfather of them all)
• Telugu movie recommendations by Gollapudi Maruthi Rao (Shiva by Ram Gopal Varma being the most recent one)

Now, this blog is giving a great peak into the mind of the movie-making genius that is Kamal!
