Two Women, Two Continents, 9000 Miles, ONE DREAM
Perhaps the first-ever feature film where two female filmmakers made one movie together while sitting in their home-countries in two continents, collaborating entirely over the internet with the help of web-based applications and services.
Across The Ocean tells the story of two women in two continents who are different in everything, except for their dream of traveling abroad. Though from two different countries and two different cultures, Holly, a young executive from California, and Nila, a mid-20s software engineer from Cochin share a common dream- of leaving their homes and traveling the world. But an opportunity to work in Kerala, India means to Holly choosing between her dream and her job, family, and relationship. And Nila, who’s ready to settle in the US with her fiancée, gets a shock when he tells her that he intends to settle in India post-marriage. When each of their careers and family obligations threaten the possibility of their pursuit, the ladies learn to become more creative and bold with their endeavours. |
