How did DRAWING BLOOD happen?

> HOW DID DRAWING BLOOD HAPPEN? - By Maha (Director & Producer)

As India is celebrating 100 yrs of Cinema, is our Cinema industry truly making 100% good quality films???
The amount of importance given to having a STAR cast, the least is concentrated on good concept stories.
Formula driven love stories, monotonous mass films, item numbers, is this the future development of Indian cinema that we would provide to our further generations ??
Once upon a time, there was the control of good technicians over the Indian Cinema, and now its laid under the foot of corporate biggies in terms of productions.
Our entertainment strategies have erased the barricades between Commercial and Realistic film-making.
By designing a good concept, how many years of penance does one have to do to gain attention from a corporate support???
Since birth till now, i have seen plenty of Internationally acclaimed good Indian Indie classic films throughout history. But i still would not understand as to - Why does the great Indian stories always portray the slavery, poverty, prostitution, the marital dark affairs, women objectification, violent corners of the societal issues,etc. Everytime?!
Why are Internationally acclaiming Indie films by good Indian film makers not able to release their films in theaters in this country???
We live in such an age, where we give more time and importance to work, our gadgets such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, or even TV, etc. than over our emotions, relations, bonds, or expressing affection, etc.
The world itself is a wonderful painting created by the greatest artist, the Almighty God.
There are millions of artists on this planet, and each artist has a hundred stories inside of him/her. At one time, the artist may die, but his/her art remains alive. Are all the artists/painters really living happily?!?
I saw a few of their lives pretty closely, they create brilliant colourful paintings but their lives are colourless. If an artist does not like his work, he/she may easily erase it, correct it, or just remove it. But even if they wish , they cannot correct, redo or erase their incidents or memories in real life.
This very thought was made into a good concept story and named Drawing Blood, as i began working on it.
December 6th, 2012, we began the shoot of the film in Chennai, Tamil Nadu (India)
Now the film's first copy is ready.
Me and my crew members-
Bheema (DOP), Kartik (Colourist), Murugan (Editor), Ramsay (Background score), Ramkey (Sound Designer), Kasa (Art Director) and VaayuDhwani (Dialogue Writer) rode on a struggling journey for 10 months to complete this film. At the end we have content-fully reached here.
It took me a lot of hard work and undue struggle to make this film. While i had no financier, nor am i a big producer. All i knew is that i believed in this film to happen, and with the love and support through my family, friends and well wishers i could make it this far. This film is made for everyone out there whom i wish to reach out and share it globally. But to fulfill that goal i need all the support that i can get from my dear artists,fans and people who are reading this.
