What happened to Laxman?
It’s true, I omitted him from the forest scenes where he traditionally accompanies Sita and Rama. Mostly because, at 72 minutes, this film will take at least 3 years to finish, and doing justice to Laxman would make a much longer movie. With little time and less money, I decided to downplay his role for economic reasons. Laxman does appear later in “Sita,” to drive our heroine out of Ayodhya on Rama’s orders, but I admit this is a smaller part. Mostly Laxman acts as an agent of Rama, and since my story is about Sita, I depict her primarily in relation to Rama. It would be great if someone avenged my omission and made a Ramayana from Laxman’s point of view. I’d love to see that! How is the project funded? “Sita Sings the Blues” is a low-budget, independent project, but I still need money. Interested investors should definitely contact me. I also gratefully accept donations: How long will it take to finish? I estimate 3 years total. 6 months down, two-and-a-half to go… What software do
