  Speaker 36: films really from all over South Asia.

  Speaker 34: Not just India, which we love to do.
• 32:17
  Speaker 24: You know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 34: It's like it's a great cross section of the region
• 32:20

• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 32:22
  Speaker 34: Yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. An you've got the big opening night documentary or

  Speaker 3: the film which is called Breaking the Code. Tell us
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 34: I am really excited about this one.
• 32:35
  Speaker 22: This film.
• 32:36
  Speaker 28: Uh, it's gonna be impossible not to get emotional during
• 32:40
  Speaker 28: this film.
• 32:41
  Speaker 36: It is a documentary by a filmmaker named Ben Recky,
• 32:45
  Speaker 36: who just really coincidentally I'd worked with before, and he's
• 32:51
  Speaker 36: a very talented guy from the Bay Area originally, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 36: the film track is fother his journey in the us
• 33:02
  Speaker 36: and in his rise in Silicon Valley and then you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 36: captures his father.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And it becomes this kind of.
• 33:12
  Speaker 34: Really you know, obviously, on one hand, it is about
• 33:15
  Speaker 34: the Silicon Valley icon and I do want to ruin it,
• 33:18
  Speaker 34: but you'll you'll.
• 33:19
  Speaker 28: See the effect that this person had on on so
• 33:22
  Speaker 28: many others of South Asian descent. And his name is
• 33:26
  Speaker 28: kanwall Rucky again Filkin Valley legend. And then Ben turns
• 33:29
  Speaker 28: the camera on him, but in doing so, I learned a.
• 33:33
  Speaker 36: Lot about himself and uh and then you know, I
• 33:36
  Speaker 36: don't I don't.
• 33:37
  Speaker 28: Want to give any spoilers there, but let's just say
• 33:39
  Speaker 28: it's a how he said, buying emotional but also uplifting
• 33:43
  Speaker 28: and inspirational film.
• 33:45
  Speaker 34: And I can't wait for people to see it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, mister Rickey's story is a testament
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: to what a lot of people in our South Asian
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: community go through in their immigrant story. So that's it's
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: a great watch and I can't wait for people to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: see it. Yeah yeah, on Jay, you know, there's a
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: something that's really cool about the Festival. I believe the
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Festival does an amazing job of offering South Asian filmmakers
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: more than just what is going on on the screen.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Tell us about that, tell us about the week.
• 34:18
  Speaker 36: Yeah, well, I'm so glad you said that, first of all,
• 34:20
  Speaker 36: because yes, I mean, as proud as.
• 34:22
  Speaker 28: We are of the official selection of films, I think
• 34:27
  Speaker 28: what you know, if you're talking to anyone in LA
• 34:29
  Speaker 28: who's been.
• 34:29
  Speaker 34: To it, they'll just tell you like, oh my god,
• 34:32
  Speaker 34: what a great bot like what what a great you
• 34:34
  Speaker 34: know energy at that festival. And it's for a few reasons.
• 34:38
  Speaker 28: But one of the things I want to highlighted that
• 34:40
  Speaker 28: we have this thing called Industry Days and it's two days,
• 34:43
  Speaker 28: it's the.
• 34:44
  Speaker 34: Friday and Saturday. And what we do is just a
• 34:48
  Speaker 34: several programs.
• 34:50
  Speaker 23: There's a pitch competition, there's you know, a project that
• 34:54
  Speaker 23: we select and you match filmmakers up with you know, financiers,
• 34:59
  Speaker 23: distributed other industry executives, Asians, you know, And so.
• 35:03
  Speaker 37: What you do is you have this now, now we
• 35:05
  Speaker 37: have this on top of the festival audience itself, we
• 35:08
  Speaker 37: have a huge swath of industry folks and young filmmakers
• 35:11
  Speaker 37: and creative that just gives the whole thing an amazing energy.
• 35:15
  Speaker 38: And you know, so it really is kind of this
• 35:20
  Speaker 38: cross section of you know, people from all walks of
• 35:24
  Speaker 38: life that better lovers of South Asian cinema and so
• 35:29
  Speaker 38: it's really cool.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I love that a lot. And Jay,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about the institution of
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: the film festival in the equation of film. Where do
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: you see the festival itself going, the film festival overall
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: as an institution. What is the future given the new
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: obstacles that this industry faces.
• 35:55
  Speaker 34: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 35:56
  Speaker 39: I mean, you know, I think if it has been
• 35:59
  Speaker 39: the last new years since since COVID and everything, it's
• 36:02
  Speaker 39: been tough for festivals, you know, a little bit of
• 36:06
  Speaker 39: a resurgence lately.
• 36:09
  Speaker 40: With uh, you know, uh, just getting people out and
• 36:13
  Speaker 40: about again. But I think that I think, good me, Uh,
• 36:18
  Speaker 40: there's nothing quite like fitting in a theater with a
• 36:22
  Speaker 40: group of people and experiencing something touching or funny or
• 36:27
  Speaker 40: scary or what have you.
• 36:29
  Speaker 34: And I know it's easy to not do that now, right.
• 36:32
  Speaker 28: We all have these you know, these things in our
• 36:34
  Speaker 28: pocket and devices everywhere.
• 36:36
  Speaker 34: And and and all their forms of entertainment.
• 36:39
  Speaker 28: But I just don't think there's anything quite like sitting
• 36:41
  Speaker 28: in a theater and experiencing something with a group of
• 36:44
  Speaker 28: people and that is still and then that's why I
• 36:48
  Speaker 28: love it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. It's really cool. Listen, you know
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: this week Ahead here I always joke and I feel
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: like it feels like an Indian wedding because you start
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: at one end of it you know nobody, and at
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: the time the five days are over with, you're collectively
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: sharing votes on what you think the favorite film of
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: the week was. And what's really cool about the experience
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: of overall are I wanted to share this with you,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: is that you kind of go through this process. Right,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: there's opening night, and then day by day there's this
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: dialogue of what the next big film is, and that
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: dialogue of the film kind of carries over, and then
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: at the end of it all, it culminates with voting
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: and kind of putting together what your your selections were
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: for the best film. You know, it's an experience, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I think from the film community perspective, it's kind of
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: magical when you say and and tell us, tell us
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 34: Yeah, I think you know what you just said is
• 37:43

• 41:56
  Speaker 44: Song about a relationship. This is a love song about
• 42:00
  Speaker 44: the moment before one begins. You know that feeling, the
• 42:05
  Speaker 44: suspended electric space where you haven't said anything yet but
• 42:10
  Speaker 44: everything in your body already knows. The stolen glance of
• 42:14
  Speaker 44: the nervous energies, and the flutter in our stomach and chest.
• 42:19
  Speaker 44: This is exactly where this song lives, and what makes
• 42:22
  Speaker 44: it so special is that the production is.
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: Really making the listener feel like they're experiencing these emotions
• 42:28
  Speaker 12: through the music itself. It's weightless, airy soft, there's no
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: heavy drama forcing you to feel something.
• 42:35
  Speaker 43: It just wraps around you and it lets the feeling build.
• 42:39
  Speaker 12: Monali's voice pulls you in effortlessly and completely in the moment,
• 42:44
  Speaker 12: and she.
• 42:45

• 42:48
  Speaker 12: Uninhibited, more herself than ever, and you can hear it
• 42:51
  Speaker 12: in her voice. The song is for everyone who has
• 42:55
  Speaker 12: ever felt that magic of a love that is just beginning,
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: the beautiful, terrifying, wonderful moment before everything changes.

• 52:18
  Speaker 3: and I'll be there in the front row area, and

• 53:54
  Speaker 4: the cassette.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Then that's a lugging.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: John John.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Love it. Delgosonge. The song is called Gubby Us. You know,
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: I've been sitting on this all show and I wanted
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: to say it right. You know, when walked out onto
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: that Coachella stage, there was a feeling in the South
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Asian music community that was really hard to put into
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: words because it wasn't just a performance. It was a moment,
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: and there was a prevailing belief that I can't confirm
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: or deny that Sidu Musawaala was supposed to be there,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: that after his passing, Diljit stepped into that place. And
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know if that's true. What
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: I do know is and if it is true, then
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: there is no one on earth more deserving of that
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: responsibility than Diljitosange. And here's why Diljit didn't just show
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: up at Coachella. He was inevitable, he was always going
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: to be there. It was just a matter of time
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: because of what he built and how he built it,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: his ability to appeal to the diaspora in a wholesome way,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: almost in like an ageless kind of a way, across
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: every generation. And that's no small thing, and that's the
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: hardest thing to do in music. Any artist can be
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: cool to twenty five year olds, any artist can win
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: over the parents with nostalgia. But to be genuinely cool
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: to the kid in the front row and worth the
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: big box office bucks to his parents sitting behind him,
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: that takes something different, That takes authenticity, that goes all
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: the way down to the core. Jay Z once said this,
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: he said, I'm not a business man, I'm a business man.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: I think that about Diljit too, because Diljit isn't just
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: an artist, and he's not just navigating the music industry.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: He is the industry. He is the infrastructure. He is
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: the proof of the concept for every South Asian act
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: that comes after him. And here's what I want to
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: leave you with today. In my thirty years in this business,
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: there are two Punjabi artists that I've seen, two who
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: can put any age audience in the seats in any city,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: in any country on any given night two artists where
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: the grandparents and the grandchildren are in the same room,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: singing the same words, feeling the same thing. And to me,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: that's been diljit dosange and set them there shortage. You
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: don't have to take my word for it. The numbers
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: will tell you. That's the bridge for today. I'll see
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: you tomorrow.
