hi, this is not really a comment on this post, all apologies. one of my students turned me onto this project. kudos to you; it is well done! (though it’s true you may be about to enter the maelstrom of hindutva!) anyway, i noticed in one scene you have the devanagari for “Sitayana” and there’s a spelling error i thought you might want to correct. “Ramayana” is spelled with a retroflex “n” (i.e., devanagari ण् — that character ought to appear correctly if your browser is set to unicode encoding and uses a devanagari capable unicode ttf font, such as uttara, etc. for windows or devanagari mt for mac). That “n” is made retroflex by the presence of the “r” in “Ramayana”. Since “Sitayana” lacks that “r” (or a similar retroflex sound), the “n” would be a regular dental “n” (i.e., न् ), not a retroflex. So “Sitayana” would be written सीतायन . Feel free to email me if you have trouble viewing that or would like a .pdf of the same. best wishes.

Will the DVD ever be made available for purchase for educational use?

DVDs won’t be available until “Sita” finds a distributor. Maybe later next year? If I’m lucky? When it happens, I’ll let y’all know.

Today I express-mailed “Sita”’s first film festival submission to Berlin. IF she gets in, that’s the very start of this long arduous process.

Wow,

This art makes my heart sing, beautiful drawings and vibrant colors. I can’t wait to see this movie!

I am just dipping my toes into the sea of animation with Adobe Flash so thanks for the inspiration

I recently saw your winning entry to Asifa East “Agni Pariska” at Pratt in Brooklyn– I loved it! It was so beautiful, and the music was awesome! Thanks for making such an incredible piece.

Hey Nina, I’m a long~time fan, as you know, and the previews I’ve seen of Sita are truly amazing and wonderful. Your art, and your dedication to it, both are so impressive, so outstanding. I have been talking up Sita to friends, and I will certainly attend the SF showing (money in hand!!) with at least one friend, maybe more. Is there room? I hope so…
Thanks,
David
