"PROJECT KASHMIR is a feature-length documentary that follows two Americans, a Hindu and a Muslim, as they sneak into the war zone of Kashmir to uncover the truth about what is happening in what is considered to be one of the most dangerous places on earth. These two friends confront their personal identities and explore key issues of religious and cultural conflict, human rights and freedom of expression, revealing the roots of a divided South Asian immigrant community in the United States. A project of the 2006 Sundance Institute’s Documentary Editing and Storytelling Lab, PROJECT KASHMIR was recently chosen as the closing night film of the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival.

Following the film, join directors Senain Kheshgi and Geeta Patel for a discussion with Hiram E. Chodosh (Dean and Professor of Law, University of Utah) and Amos N. Guiora (Professor of Law, University of Utah) regarding the Hindu-Muslim divide in India and Pakistan." - Sundance Institute

Band Night

Well, it may not be exactly "industry related", but it did happen at East Bay Studios, Utah's second largest production studios.

Check out some of our local talent:

First Shots

This is the first entry for the Wasatch Wrap, an industry blog for film and video production in Utah. I'm Emily Jensen, Marketing Director for East Bay Studios and Editor of the Wasatch Wrap.

The goal of the Wasatch Wrap is to provide news tidbits and updates of interest to filmmakers, producers, directors, photographers, videographers, grips, creative services departments, and others involved in the industry in Utah Valley and beyond. Over time we hope to include information about job openings, new hire announcements, production needs, premieres, and who's doing what with whom.
