Check out my newly updated and renovated website with the latest episode in the ongoing film series, Exploration with Uday Gunjikar: The Wine Country! The website is still at http://explorationtheseries.com, and it features a fresh new look and, of course, the new video in three formats for your viewing pleasure.
Let me apologize, first of all, for the delay in posting the latest film. My efforts were undermined by the unfortunate circumstances of the last several months, including the economic collapse we endured, as well as the psychological blow I received upon the Mumbai terror attacks last November. I had already started editing the Wine Country film at that stage, as I had completed principal photography for the film almost exactly a year before, in November 2007. However, upon witnessing the very landmarks that were the subjects of my first film besieged by ruthless terrorists, I was deeply discouraged in my efforts.
However, I am determined not to allow the actions of a few crazed Islamic militants to undermine my creative endeavors. I was determined to prove to myself and to the world that Horizon Cybermedia is here to stay and that no army of psychopathic, fanatical Islamic militants were about to stand in my way! Creative self-expression and the arts must never let themselves be held hostage by depraved fanatics.
And if you believe in the Indian concept of Karma or poetic justice, then you have to look no further than current events at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where militants are currently engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the Pakistani military!
That said, I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate my latest film to the innocent victims of the horrific terrorist attack in Mumbai in November, 2008. To the families and loved ones of the defenseless civilians who suffered at the hands of a small group of heavily-armed maniacs who besieged the city last year, I offer my heartfelt condolences and wholeheartedly dedicate this film to the memory of your fallen loved ones.
In addition, I would like to acknowledge the support of my parents, without whose enthusiasm and empathy, none of my endeavors would have been possible. I would also like to thank my friends, especially those of you on Facebook, who have been extremely supportive and enthusiastic.
That said, I hope you enjoy my latest film-making endeavor and I hope you are eager for more to come! Next up is a film on the amazing city of Calcutta, India, and following that, more films on spectacular locations all over the world. Following the release of the first six episodes in the series, the entire season will be available on DVD and, possibly, VOD, through Amazon.com!
Wishing you the very best,
Uday Gunjikar,
Founder and CEO,
Horizon Cybermedia, Inc.
