Eatontown, NJ (PRWEB) May 28, 2007 -- Trinity International Entertainment, NJ an Independent feature film making company specializing in films that exploit cross-over cultural related subjects, announces the completion of its debut venture "On The Other Side" and inviting trade enquiries for distribution. The film has already won a nomination for NY International Independent Film and Video film festival, which is going to be held in July 2007.
Shanthikumar Chilumula, producer and writer-director, produced a movie earlier in one of the Indian languages, has won many accolades and honors. The film bagged Sate Govt. of India's (A.P) Bronze Award for the best feature film of the year 2001. Inspired by the success and Shanthikumar reeled out another successful venture on contemporary cross-cultural related issues.
"On the Other Side" is a love story served with a flavor of adventure dipped in a classy mess of cultural understanding-misunderstandings, perfectly garnished with toppings of hilarious incidental-accidents, which makes it an all-round entertainer. As if the story by Shanthikumar isn't enough, Katie Torpey, a well-known Hollywood screenwriter (The Perfect Man-A Universal Studios release, 2005), excellently brought out the delicious comedy and underlying drama. The present times cross-over phenomena has presented an opportunity for everyone involved in this project to delve deep into the traditions, basics and beyond. Although always the cross-cultural related issues brings with them a certain amount of tension, toughness, sensitivity and possessiveness -- the subject has been presented in a style that is both humoristic and realistic without demeaning the values associated with respective domiciles.
The film completed its principal photography in New York, New Jersey, City of Hyderabad (India) and its surrounding beautiful countryside locales. The choice of locations becomes obvious as they are not only best suited for the subject and due to the fact that both cities have an aura of their own. The cities are 6,000 miles apart with traditions and heritages of their own. Apart from the grandeur, radiance that each city presents and differs in vibrancies both cities are very lively and charismatic in their own terms. Hyderabad city is unique in its own way of dealing with foreigners -- namely Americans. In his or her version -- to most of them -- every foreigner is an American. And hence follows the royal treatment. Mostly people are very patient and behave relatively normal even under 110 degrees temperatures.
The sudden impact of getting introduced to a foreign culture creates both anxiety and confusion and the following behavioral drama of trying to blend in as fast as they can results in hysterical consequences. The sudden jump from an upscale and free-style environment into a conservative and rule-binding family oriented environment presents Dave, the protagonist of the film, a challenge and an opportunity to become aware of the significance of the cultural ground-roots in shaping thoughts about love and compassion. As the story glides slowly but swiftly through scene-to-scene, Dave finds himself more and more drawn towards the traditions and value systems as it provides a sense of security.

What happens when Swapna and her parents realize that an American wants to be a part of their family? Is it possible to reconcile the distinct cultures and bridge the barriers?
