Manoj Srivastava

Your Asia Contact

Hi I am Manoj Srivastava, Former CEO, International Film Festival of India, Goa and now a Producer-Director-Writer-Film Festival Chief. My Line Production Company India Shoots company recently shot two big feature films in India. Lets connect for funding, soft funding, project development, Talent Coordination and much more. 

Tony Ginn

Invitation to be a Member in my Network as I know India is more successful in Motion Picture Productions over taking Hollywood and other Countries around the Globe as Natural Disters halt Productions from time to time as Hollywood is having less shoots and where China used to have a Great relationship because they had the Money and Hollywood had the Content! They must have gotten a Divorce as the US is shutting down TIK TOK and accusing China of interference with American Politics as the Covid is escalating even though the Chinese people are able to travel to the US once again! Animation is their strong suit, as the Industry goes from Free Streaming to Subscriptions and Pay-per-View on new releases and still losing Billions of dollars when the mutating Viruses began in 2020!

I have been in contact with friends in Mumbai who tells me that there are Investors in Motion Pictures!

All that said, I have loglines to view, but, those are completed Scripts and several in Drafts!

However, I have one that the UK, Canada wants me to bring to the Motion Picture and Album Soundtrack to them!

My Debut Film the "Robert Johnson Story "King of the Blues" adapted from his True Story, where the Soundtrack the Gross Revenue Driver, is more important than the Film itself, as it will be short lived at the Box office until it goes to streaming,, but the Music will last a Lifetime as there are over 1B Blues Fans around the Globe that is a conservative number as there is approximately 10B on the Planet!

My Marketing Plan is the following:

1. I will Produce all 41 Recordings in an All-New Version with a 10-Piece Band and Harmonica in a 2CD set at approximately $50.

2. Simultaneously start Pre-Production for a Motion Picture or Indie!

3. Once in the CAN, in the case of an Indie submit to Cannes or Sundance, Toronto Film Festivals to be picked up by Executive Producers for Marketing to the Motion Picture Industry intended for Theatrical Markets with the ability for Distribution.

4. Produce a Blu-Ray DVD by Xmas 2023 for sales prior to the first run in IMAX and Cineplexes Nationwide.

5. First Release in the International Markets then in the US during Black History Month and on Xmas Day 2024!!

Note: This has been an 11-year-work-in progress with $100K of My own investment out of pocket!

No matter how long it takes and if I have to bring this project to fruition, as I am prepared to do so, if necessary, as I am undaunted and I NEVER GIVE UP nor have I burnt any Bridges over my Performing Arts Career!

Trust ME You won't regret it as this project will create hundreds if not thousands of jobs!

So, there You have it, as I suggest you take my approach, invite me to India for financing host me as Royalty and collaborate to build the TEAM of Motion Picture Producer's, Directors, Actors, Musicians and Production Crews! US Dollars?

My Passport does not expire until 2027!

I will have my own Money in my pocket to the tune of $1000 to cover my own expenses and spread the Wealth!

Have Some Fun Today and Do Have a Blessed Day!

Until then.....:

Peace Out!

Manoj Srivastava

I am sorry. I did not understand the proposal. What are you proposing ?

Olivia Drake

Hello Manoj! Nice to meet you!

Maurice Vaughan

Welcome to the community, Manoj Srivastava. There are a lot of talented creatives and industry professionals from India on here (www.stage32.com/people?name=&location=india&roles=).

Amanda Toney

Glad to have you in the community Manoj. It would be great if you wanted to write a blog about what you’re seeing in the India filmmaking Industry - shoot Emily an email at blog@stage32.com

Tony Ginn

Amanda Toney I am disappointed as I do not recall you asking me to write a blog. I have most likely have more knowledge regarding Our Industry, as an Adjunct Professor covering Film History, Acting techniques, Film definitions, Biography's, Politics as it affects this Brutal Industry, Referral's, Encouragement, even the Stage32 link on My Profile page on LinkedIn, Posts on all of My Social Media Platforms with only two pitch's for a Faithbased Film and the Robert Johnson Story, that in the content describes the ROI! But, I am Old School and still know that without a personal one-on-one meeting nothing moves forward without a contract! Legally, all of My submissions must be on an NDA to prevent theft of my creations and protect My Copy Rights and Intellectual Properties, as my work has been stolen for my Music and the mistake to submit my script to a Producer who does not accept unsolicited material, that is hard to prove, even though the content is time stamped! I have followed the success stories that are few and far between! Further more, no response, once I paid the $35 for a free pitch under a NDA, as to when and how to do so. I even invited RB to become a Lifetime Member of Continental Who's Who, as I am the first and only Black in its History in the Arts and Entertainment Category, as I am allowed two nominations per year with a simple phone interview to join me as the second one in the A & E Category, that is richly deserved as he is a Pioneer with the vision to build this Platform reaching Millions of Members who get the benefits of this Stage 32 Family! My trip to Poland to do the Documentary "Though a Childs Lens: Out of the Mouth of Babe's" with My Crowd Funding Campaign now only needs $1K to fly into Warsaw in March. It seems that there is little interest in Helping the Children in Ukraine or Children around the Globe, even in the US! I have witnessed this myopathy all over the Nation and I am saddened that millions of Children are dying to Wars and Homeless Children and Teens on the streets of America, some addicted, shooting up in Store Fronts, taking Candy Colored Fentanyl, and suicides, by taking Tablets, and worse yet, a 6 Year old shooting a Teacher with a Gun and the many Mass Murder's past and present!

I sincerely hope Manoj will be able to connect with East Indian Filmmakers to fulfill his Dreams for success as a fledgling Filmmaker!

At 73 years of age, some of the Members weren't even born and now if you keep up with the announcements of Our Artists passing on, on average ages 50 to 100, I will outlive many who are left or if and when my work is done, my credits will speak for themselves, as I always wake up saying "What kind of Good Can I do for today Jesus, for those less fortunate than myself, for a job well done recognized by my peers that are Member's of SAG/AFTRA!

So, do not charge my CC the $35 and donate the Money to your favorite Charity, as I am to busy now planning my tip to Warsaw and other Projects once the DOC is in the CAN and submitted to Film Festivals to expose Putin for his War Crimes and the Genocide he is committing!

Have Some Fun Today and Do Have a Blessed Day!

Manoj Srivastava
