Overview
"A 17-minute experimental-narrative short film. After an interview goes wrong, Trishul, a once successful author, works on a new book about a life with a brother he never knew, but is distracted by dreams of a lover he left behind. As Trishul works on his new novel, dreams of a past life meld with the potential of a future life with Sylvia, his ex-fiancé. Trishul continues to lose focus as he writes about the brother he left behind in India when an American family adopted him. Ultimately, Trishul must make a choice and act, rather than imagine his wants and desires. My Indian Rhapsody addresses issues of racial identity, fabrication vs. creativity, and love vs. career." --Abstract.
