Behind the scenes is the first feature film
produced by The Unlimited Entertainment. It is the
culmination of the experiences gained by a team of after/AL
students from Royal College, not only through making of short
films, filming of school events and theatre productions, but
also through the premature exposure to the hardships and
realities in their zealous voyage towards making their own
film. It is showcasing the talents and passion of Lakpathy
Wijesekara, the Director and his team towards the silver
screen.
The film shot
by a MD 10 000 camera, using the simplest of film
equipment captures a facet of teens not touched by Sri Lankan
cinema beofore. It narrates the story of an ambitious
director dedicated and committed in toto to making his first
feature yet encountering endless challenges which stem from
lack of empathy, ignorance and arrogance. Behind the screen
discusses friendship,hope,respect and solitude; questions the
stereotyped sarcasm the institutionalized and organized
industry sheds upon a bunch of committed, enthusiastic and
revolutionist teenagers.
