Hello, I am Harbinder! This is my follow-up short film to Manpreet, a successful 10-festival run and an award-winning film.
Help Bring "Perfectly Seasoned" to Life!
A Fresh Take on Love, Identity, and Finding Happiness at Any Age
We're raising $5,500 to complete our mockumentary short film that's already generating buzz in our community!
The Story (Without Spoilers!)
Meet Bikram Singh – a 55-year-old Sikh restaurant owner on Long Island with a surprising double life. To his community, he's the reliable, traditional bachelor who has always put family first. What they don't know?
When his well-meaning niece decides it's finally time for Uncle Bikram to find love, she organizes a speed dating event that sets off a chain of heartwarming and hilarious events. What follows is a story about finding a connection in unexpected places and discovering it's never too late for new beginnings.
Why This Film Matters
• Authentic Representation: When was the last time you saw a middle-aged Sikh man as the romantic lead in a comedy?
• Breaking Stereotypes: Our film shows South Asian characters as complex individuals navigating between tradition and modernity with humor and heart.
• Celebrating Second Chances: This story reminds us all that love and self-discovery can happen at any age.
Where We Stand
We've already raised $2,000 from community supporters who believe in this project! Your contribution will help us reach our total budget of $7,500 to:
• Hire professional South Asian actors and crew
• Secure filming locations and equipment
• Complete post-production with quality sound and editing
• Submit to film festivals across North America
