We are pleased to announce Bombay Pictures has completed its 1-hour documentary “Don’t tell me I can’t!” based on the Destination ImagiNation (DI) program!
The production started by following nine DI teams. Writer and Director Vandana (“Dana”) Tilak, herself a former DI mom, was ecstatic when five of the nine teams made it to the 2010 Global Finals in Knoxville, Tenn.
The finished film follows those five teams, whose team members range from age 10 to 18, as they progress through Regional and Affiliate Tournaments to Global Finals. The five teams were of different age groups and all worked on different Team Challenges.
The filming crew captured the teams’ practices, performances, and their personal stories as well as interviews with Challenge Masters, Appraisers, family members and DI staff and volunteers. The crew also created its own solutions to unique challenges: How do you compress a huge event that happens over 10 months into a 1-hour story that everyone can understand, and still showcase relatable characters? And how can you inspire viewers to become involved in DI in some way?
The film is being aggressively marketed via social networks like Facebook and Twitter to world television markets in Cannes and Belgium, and other distributors and networks.
Game shows, co?productions and a feature film based on DI are also currently in development.
The film’s creators invite the DI community to visit the film’s Facebook page:www.facebook.com/dtmic. Don’t forget to like the page!
