Desi earns Honourable Mention at Mississauga Indie Fest

I Want To Be A Desi scored second place in the Short Film Competition at the Mississauga Independent Film Festival. Festival Director Matt Campagna personally congratulated director/writer Allan Tong and co-writer Dinesh Sachdev after last night's Awards Ceremony at the AMC Winston Churchill in Oakville.

So that's the second second-place finish for Desi, including The Grand River Film Festival (Kitchener-Waterloo, ON) last year.

Desi's next festival stop is the Asian-American International Film Festival in New York, NY, on Friday, August 12.

The Desi gang hit the Mississauga Independent Film Festival's gala party at the resplendent Art Gallery of Mississauga. Co-writer Dinesh Sachdev and co-writer/director Allan Tong were interviewed on the red carpet by the lovely Katie Uhlmann of TTN-HD (and photographed by the equally lovely Joanne Uhlmann).

Tong and Sachdev were pleased to meet the festival organizers and fellow filmmakers such as Linkproducer Ryan Reaney.

Remember: I Want To Be A Desi screens at MIFF this Saturday at noon.
