How We Came To Make ‘Man and the Moon.’

In modern India, the moon plays an important part in every day life. India’s unmanned moon mission was even named after the Hindu moon god, Chandra.
I am a film maker, and when I finished writing The Book of the Moon, I had the good fortune to work with a young Indian animator, Nandita Jain. Nandita had read my book and we decided to explore the possibility of making a short film about mankind’s relationship with the moon. With the book as inspiration Nandita directed and drew this beautiful and moving two minute film, Man And The Moon. I am very proud of it. Next year we are going to show the film at the Jaipur Festival of Literature. Thank you for taking the time to watch it. I hope you enjoy it.
