| The production house is
looking to do a host of shows in the lifestyle arena. Speaking to Indiantelevision.com
on this Miditech CEO Nikhil Alva says, "We are looking to enter the lifestyle
arena in the English genre. We are talking to Zee Trendz, Zoom and other channels
for shows. We are looking to do shows on fashion, travel etc. This is an arena
that I feel will experience a boom." Miditech has also done a series
of five one hour documentaries for National Geographic Channel (NGC). These will
be submitted next week and should go on air from April. They deal with an admirable
range of subjects. One of these is tentatively titled Flight IC814. This
recreates the fateful hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight to Kandahar in 2000.
Alva says that some passengers and crew from the flight recall their harrowing
experience which makes it authentic. Closer home Miditech has also done
a special on the Mumbai floods. This looks at the havoc wrought on the city last
July and how the infrastructure crumbled. Another documentary looks at
the earthquake phenomenon. This was shot in the US and China. It looks at the
work that scientists are doing in developing prediction models. Chasing
Cyclones is a tentative name for another documentary. Alva adds that as is
the case with any NGC show a lot of research went into each documentary. It took
two years to make some of the shows. A lot of effort has gone into understanding
the different situations and the dynamics of each situation. |
