Dear Subramanya Sastry,
Would you be any chance know how I can source a 30-45
sec clip of the tsunami tidal wave/ effect on India's
fisherfolk? Am currently working on a documentary that
I urgently req the same.
The footage can be dv/ beta/ digi beta. Low budget
venture that I can pay little to nothing.
Do let me know if you came across any sources for such
footage.
warm regards
miriam
documentary filmmaker, mumbai
