Book reading with producer Ishmael Merchant, of Merchant and Ivory Productions
NYC: Fri, Nov. 22: DINNER: A South Asian Journalist Association Newsmaker Dinner with filmmaker and author Ismail Merchant. He was launching his book at this event. I'm wearing the blue sweater and in the second row on the right. Ishmael was full of fun, laughter and life. His stories about how he made his films were fascinating, and inspired me to make my own films.
