When
I first came to Mumbai I thought it was strange that everyone always
ate raw onions. Now, I happily gobble them up! I've lived in Mumbai
for 2.5 years but I originally hail from the land of Hobbits, New
Zealand. My name is Veialu Aila-Unsworth, but friends call me Lulu.
I started volunteering part-time for Mewsic in May 2013, working with
the team to create films to inspire people to support the foundation, to
document their activities, and to explain the life-changing work Mewsic
does.
I
believe that film can really help to open people's eyes and hearts to a
good cause, although the challenge is trying not to become cliche or
over-simplify a message. Film also brings an intimacy and understanding
to viewers who may be watching hundreds of miles away. What's more,
the kids get to see themselves on film and they love it!
I'm
a freelance filmmaker by profession, in fact, the reason I first came
to India was to write a movie
script for a Bollywood director. I have worked as a writer, TV
commercial director, an award-winning short film director, TV promotions
producer, copywriter and editor but my real passion is scriptwriting. I'm very excited to be working with Mewsic, and I must say, it's inspiring to work with such a passionate and positive group of people.
