Help Rao Finish His Feature Film

It is not an overstatement to say a lifetime is not enough to play all the characters that are written by great writers.  In that context, acting is a fascinating field.  I became an actor accidentally after the events of 9/11/2001.  I took it seriously and I studied acting.  I tend to think that American acting came from Europe.  For the last 5 years, beginning with the Cannes Film Festival,  I have been going around in Europe searching for the roots of American Acting focussing on Ibsen, Strindberg, and Chekhov as reflected in the writings of Stanislavsky.  What did I find and what happens, in the end, is something to look forward to in my upcoming feature film.  However, this film is not about me, it is about the art and ultimately, it's all about you.  I am only a facilitator.  I have worked with Austin Pendleton, a well-known celebrity actor, and a dear teacher and Vanilla Ice, another celebrity rapper and an actor with whom I worked side by side in Columbia Pictures THAT'S MY BOY.  He offered his helping hand to this project.  I am talking to other celebrities that would throw light on this subject.

I have filmed and documented this through pictures and videos during my five years journey.  Of course, I spent several thousand dollars on this process.  Ready to roll, I signed the papers with Screen Actors Guild to make this as an Ultra Low Budget Feature Film.  

Some of you have already helped with your moral and material support.  I have almost finished shooting this project pending some celebrity appearances.  Now we are going into editing and other post-production steps.   Therefore, I need financial resources to complete this process.  Hence, this appeal.  I also have a lot of people helping me donating their time to this project.  Otherwise, I would not have ventured on all by myself.  

As to my prior experience in making films besides my BOLLYWOOD TO HOLLYWOOD TV Show, I have successfully raised funds and produced a social justice film GANDHI, UNTOUCHABLES AND ME and it is on Amazon now.  Here is the link:  https://www.amazon.com/Gandhi-Untouchables-Me-Rao-Rampilla/dp/B0711JWMNJ

As to my credibility as a producer and as an actor you may check my IMDB profile at www.imdb.me/raorampilla

I was trained by Alan Arkin and worked with Adam Sandler, Liev Schrieber, Sara Jessica Parker, Tina Fey among others.

I appreciate any and every generous contribution from the friends and public, however small or big it may be.  What a world would this be without art?  Wouldn't that be a monotonous 9 to 5 life?  Picasso once famously said 'Art is what the artist says it is.'  And I say this film is about art and life. 

ALL the DONORS NAMES will be LISTED in the  END CREDITS to the film in the order of their contribution, HIGHEST FIRST, just like I did it in my previous film Gandhi, Untouchables and Me.  That is something that stays as long as the film lives.  THANK YOU.
