Today I bring you my conversation with Sujewa Ekanayake. Sujewa is a New York based, very independent filmmaker. As we discuss in the interview, he makes his own micro-budget movies, completely on his own terms, and brings them directly to audiences through mostly self-arranged theatrical screenings. We also talk about his perspective that filmmaking should not be looked at primarily as a business, but as an art form. We also discuss an exciting program that he is spearheading to screen independent films theatrically in partnership with arthouse theaters in L.A. and beyond. Above all, Sujewa’s love of filmmaking and the joy he finds in simply being an independent filmmaker in New York rings loud and clear.
