It’s that time of the year - when we look for signs to keep us secure, do significant things on dates packaged to perfection so they attain mammoth nirvana proportions in our life. Yes, I am talking about the 11.11.11 syndrome - the one that even Aishwarya Rai played victim to. The baap of all dates this year.

But this post is not about a date - it’s about an idea, an inspiring idea that took the help of a significant date, wrapped it around like a warm blanket and went ahead it playing an unusual tune. So readers, meet Project 11 and its producer Ranjan Singh, a dear friend and a wonderful filmy personality. His first film as producer is here - Project 11- which is creating ripples with its super cool trailor here.

Ranjan calls it the short ‘long’ film called Project 11 which has been entirely self funded till now and will premiere on Glamsham on 11.11.11 at 11.11 am.

And what does it have? A cool 11 characters from 11 countries and 11 stories told beautifully by 11 directors. It’s 11 minutes long and is available only at the specified time for free viewing. (So, please make sure you catch it on time).

Ranjan, the producer and my friend, is very very passionate about films and is always ready to back independent films. A film buff and a crazy producer - he’s full of ideas and puts a lot of effort and hard work in everything he does. (p.s you should check out his cool projection room with a giant screen and heaps of DVDs of every movie known to mankind).

Do set your alarm for 11.11 am and watch Project 11. But before that, read this small interview of Ranjan Singh - just a few crazy questions between friends.

 The most grueling 11 minutes of your life? 

Its actually a little more than 11 minutes. This one’s from my childhood - a time when there was just Doordarshan, and we had to watch Krishi Darshan while waiting for the Sunday Film!

 Hottest 11 minutes… 

Last month in Udaipur…when the boat accidentally left me and my girlfriend behind at the beautiful Jag Mandir’s gardens…and we were stuck there for a little more than 11 minutes!!

What can you do in 11 minutes for us?

I can make you watch Project 11, before anyone else does!

When you were 11, I ——————————————— ( Fill in the blanks)

… I got my first Playboy mag, from my seniors in the hostel!

 What’s your association with the number 11? 

As of now, I need 11 days of sleep!

Why should we watch the movie?
