ashes …
Though this is a music blog, I wanted to feature a particular film by a particular actor.
ASHES, follows the story of two brothers whose lives are unraveling. As one brother plummets deeper into mental illness, the other, Ashes, copes by throwing himself into the community that consumes him.
The man behind it all is AJAY NAIDU. Raised in Chicago where Ajay worked extensively as an actor in both film and theatre. He graduated from the American Repertory Theatre’s Institute for Advanced Theatre, training at Harvard University and has appeared in over 50 films and television projects such as K-Pax, π, Requiem for a Dream, Bad Santa, The War Within as an actor. ASHES, marks Ajay’s directorial debut, but you’re probably wonder where you have heard this name before?
Well Ajay has been worked extensively with musicians from the Asian Underground scene. Over the years his vocals have appeared on many tracks from Talvin Singh’s Decca to 136 and Tonic by the Punditz.
136 : MIDIval PunditZ (Midival Times, 2005) Spoken words and Directed by Ajay Naidu.
So this film brings together some old friends to score the soundtrack … Karsh Kale and Midival Punditz.
