Though we got 419 submissions, we felt it’s a mistake to get a writer judged on the basis of a short synopsis and the true test of a screen writer will be how he will write in detailed description of a scene along with dialogue
The new test is to write a scene based on the following content
“A job interview done by a underworld Don to recruit a new wannable gangster “
The writer can imagine the description of the setting, the language, and the no. of characters involved, where it’s happening etc.
Once the scene is written, please upload the content as an open Google Drive link and share it in the submission form on www.rgvden.com.
Other categories:
With regard to the CINEMATOGRAPHERS though we got 37 submissions, our test has not worked, could be because the contestants did not have the resources to shoot what has been asked for
So we are ALTERING the test to the following
To shoot a short video of the following SUBJECTS
The selection of the cinematographer will be based upon the UNIQUENESS of Composition, lighting and the angle of shoot
In effect “it is not about showing the SUBJECT but it is about how UNIQUELY it is shown “
Please upload a compilation video of the above 6 subjects to an open Google Drive link. Submit the link in the form by 20th June.
With regard to ACTORS/ACTRESSES, We made a mistake in asking the aspiring actors /actresses to send just their photos.. Even though the submissions came in more than a thousand, the fundamental flaw in what we asked for, is that an actor is a combination of both looks and performance and hence it is not right to ask a viewer to judge based only on a photographic look, So what we wanted to do as a 2nd stage of asking for a dialogue audition , we now are moving it to the 1st stage cancelling the point of sending us photos. So here’s what aspiring actors/actresses have to do is,
“ I am not going to forget whoever is responsible for his death ..no matter how long it takes for I am going to patiently find out. And once I get my hands on him , I am going to inflict such punishment on him that even hell can’t think of something more painful “
The above can be translated into any language of your comfort and also the lines and dialogue don’t need to be literally translated in the same order As long as the content remains the same you can interpret it to suit your manner.
Important Note:
While enacting this dialogue make sure that the EMOTIONAL intensity in the dialogue also reflects in the EYES, in the VOICE and also in the BODY language You can imagine the camera to be the person you are talking to.
Please ensure the audition video of the above dialogue is uploaded to an open Google Drive link. Submit your entry by 20th June.

About 150 films are released in each language every year, 90% of them FAIL. That is because the audience did not like the story or the cast or various other creative aspects which were decided by the filmmakers. This proves that 90% of the time filmmakers do not know what the audience wants.

The only one who knows what they want in a film is the AUDIENCE.
That is because it is the audience that decides, whether a film is HIT OR FLOP.
YOUR FILM concept is derived form the realisation of the above truth.

To shoot the below given SCENE in your own interpretation
’SCENE title: TEST
In a warehouse 40 year old Suri hands 25 year old Guru a pistol, who takes it with a shaking hand
Suri points to a kneeling old man in his 60’s called Gupta who is with his head down
Suri looks at Guru and says “Kill him”
Guru looks at the gun and says “Forgetting shooting, I never even held a gun before “
Suri says” There’s always a first time ..and it’s not as if u are participating in a shooting competition “ and laughs… All you have to do is to put the gun point on his forehead and shoot…Even a kid can do it “
Gupta mumbles” I’m sorry.. can you please ask boss to forgive me” ,” still looking down.
Suri gestures to Guru and Guru with the gun walks around behind Gupta
“No,” Suri says” Not like that. In front. Look him in the eyes and shoot him
Guru reacts
‘Look up,” Suri orders Gupta . “You deserve to die for cheating on our boss.”
Trembling , the old man does as he was told, eyes dry, staring into Guru’s eyes who now is in front looking at him .. Gupta mutters a rapid string of words which could have been a prayer
Guru raises the gun, sickened by the sight of his own hand. He presses the barrel gently against the old man’s soft forehead.Gupta keeps staring at Guru to unnerve him
Guru had never killed a man before but now he has to do this because it is an entrance test to get into the underworld
“Don’t torture me with the delay ..Just Shoot me?” Gupta whispers
Guru braces himself and shuts his eyes and is about to press the trigger
Suri sharply says “ you have to keep your eyes open and look at the man you are killing “
Guru opened his eyes and looking into Gupta’s eyes takes a deep breath and shoots
Gupta’s body is thrown backward
Guru rubs his shoulder from the pistol kick and looks at Suri for approval
Suri puts his hand on Guru’s shoulder and presses it in appreciation
“You passed the test “ Suri says and Guru breaks into tears of gratitude and Suri hugs him to console him even as Gupta’s dead eyes stare at them
