Waking Dreams
On November 18th the Prescott Film Festival & Series inches a bit
towards “Bollywood” with “Waking Dreams!” This independent romantic
comedy has the culture of India on a collision course with growing up in
America. This coming-of-age story centers on a first-generation Indian
American young woman, Latha, whose favorite pastime is wat
“Bollywood” movies with her sweet grandmother. She finds herself
spending more and more time in daydreams, picturing herself as the
beautiful actress in the movies; dancing perfectly in costume with the
handsomest men on the screen, with a backdrop of beautiful and colorful
dancers behind her.
November’s Sponsors
This month we welcome three new sponsors, , Prescott College and The Motor
Lodge! We are very grateful to Horizon Air for furnishing our guest filmmaker’s flight from Los
Angeles straight into Prescott! Prescott College, along with Melanie Bishop’s Screenwriting Class, is sponsoring this months’ screening at the Crossroads Center. The Motor Lodge is hosting our filmmaker for two nights at their newly remodeled lodge on Montezuma. Thank you Prescott
College, Horizon Air and The Motor Lodge!
Gandhi at the Bat
The short film for November 18th keeps the theme of India with “Gandhi at the
Bat!” This fun “mockumentary” tells the fictional story of Mahatmas Gandhi’s
secret trip to New York where he has the opportunity to play baseball at
Yankee Stadium!
Guest Filmmaker Deepika Daggubati

in India and raised in Texas, she’s been making movies since the age of 10.
