ShowBizzBuzz = Entertainment news…here’s the latest:
Who is Buzzworthy?
Karan Choudhary serves up a cultural clash and prejudice notions as the filmmaker and star of the new indie short film The Timepiece.
The film is described as: When Sunny (Karan Choudhary), a young, straight guy from India, meets Larry (Broadway veteran Bill Bateman), a middle-aged gay guy in New York, they discover their shared love of film, acting, life and each other’s company. But their friendship is tested when Larry’s prize possession goes missing and he jumps to a biased conclusion accusing Sunny of the theft. Will these newfound friends overcome their differences to forget and forgive? Only time will tell.
Where can you see The Timepiece?
The film has been hitting the festival circuit with Official Selection screenings all over the country. Up next, it will be at the VOB Film Festival in New York on September 1st, then in October at the DTLA Film Festival in Los Angeles and the Festival Angaelica in Duluth, Minnesota. In December, the film hits the international festival scene when it goes to the International Short Film Festival (ISFF) in Melbourne, Australia.
Why did Karan Choudhary want to make this film?
“Prejudice is a very big problem in our society today and I believe more stories about it will help to make people more aware. At its core, the film is about how people judge one another based on their appearance, sexuality, and cultural differences. I am very proud to have pulled together a passionate team of artists to create a film that is not only entertaining, but also has an underlying message that many can relate to.”
