Pushing the boundaries and exploring unexpected genres, particularly the suspense-thriller, were the cornerstones of heightening the romance and emotional drama in one of our early concept films, “Snow.” But when we heard the length’s Ravi went through to make the night of his proposal to Rekha absolutely perfect, and the way more than a few things didn’t go to plan, I knew we had the framework for an all-out action-romance film on our hands. The ambitious production would bring the relatively conservative east coast natives to the west coast to shoot on-location in Los Angeles; a surprise spectacular set to debut at their two-day South Asian wedding in Miami, FL. It’s not everyday a couple get to star in their very own action film and it’s not often we get to close down streets and use some pretty amazing toys to bring such a large scale vision to life. The process trailer and Porsche Cayenne chase car with Gemini crane pictured above (recently used in “The Dark Knight” and “Transformers” movies) were among the many highlights.

In the fall of 2009, Pacific Pictures embarked on a journey to Udaipur, India, to document the three-day wedding of Melissa & Samir in a rather unprecedented way. Unlike a traditional documentary, their real, live wedding would be integrated into a fully scripted, produced concept movie, with the hope of telling the story of their wedding with a heightened emotional authenticity and dramatic scale. “CITY OF LAKES,” as Udaipur is often called, commemorates Melissa & Samir’s journey to the transcendent place of their ancestry and the joining of two families in light of their past and the promise of their future. This would be our biggest production to date and we’re excited to share more behind the scenes images to come… Stay tuned tomorrow, as we proudly debut the full length trailer.

Behind The Scenes | A few quick behind the scenes images on location in Uppsala, Sweden shooting Megan & Narbeh’s concept film. Kevin and I gearing up for a Steadicam shot through the crowded Stora Torget (Town Square) as Megan looks on above, and braving the snowfall at the base of Uppsala Domkyrkan (Cathedral) below. As you can see, “Ben carrying tripod,” is the theme. More images to come!
