🎵mero gam katha pare ja dhudh ki nadiya wahe ja🎵 At IRMA, our induction is unlike any other. It begins with a screening of the iconic film, Manthan. This old tradition unites generations of IRMAns even till batch 44 (and beyond), fostering a shared understanding of our mission in rural India. Manthan, inspired by the real-life milk cooperative movement led by Verghese Kurien, is a powerful portrayal of collective action and its transformative potential. The post-screening debrief is where the magic happens. We delve deeper, dissecting the movie's enduring relevance. One scene that sparked debate: Dr. Rao's (representing Dr. Kurien) decision to leave the village after facing challenges. It left us confused. Dr. Shylendra's explanation, however, provided a profound lesson: sometimes, change is a seed you sow, not a fruit you reap. Bhola, the villager inspired by Dr. Rao, carries the torch forward, with Bindu by his side. Their success becomes a testament to Dr. Rao's groundwork. It's a powerful reminder that lasting impact often lies in empowering communities, not imposing solutions. Manthan is more than a movie; it's a cornerstone of the IRMA spirit. It teaches us humility, the importance of understanding rural realities, and the power of collective action. It's a lesson I'll carry with me throughout my IRMA journey and beyond. #IRMA #Manthan #RuralDevelopment #CollectiveAction #Legacy #RuralManagement

North Carolina has lost over 10 billion dollars to the state of Georgia since legislators let our film incentive policy sunset in 2015. North Carolina had a solid competitive advantage and actively employed more folks than the 3,700 figure cited below. TV & film production employed folks across the state, including carpenters, caterers, electricians, and more. North Carolina’s economic development advantage is leveraged through competitive incentive programs. A frequent false narrative is that they are not “permanent” jobs. A solid production pipeline facilitates annual employment across the state, attracts a diversified workforce who will live, work and spend money in state, increasing tax revenue for the state, without having to raise taxes to overcompensate for the revenue losses. North Carolina has the opportunity to facilitate extensive workforce development via University of North Carolina School of the Arts and our other Universities and our extensive community college system, actively investing in economic diversification to keep North Carolina more strategically dominant in our developing global economy. Partisan & identity politics is not smart pro-growth economic development policy. Coalition building to create a better quality of life for all fellow North Carolinians is our path to a brighter future.

Some great advice on film festivals from Gary Hewitt of HB Film Festival: how not to get scammed, why screening your imperfect film is still important and how screening with an audience changes how you see your film. Watch the full video 👇
