But, we had to decide against compromise. I portrayed the stark truth of what I saw in the North Central province of the country. You give the impression in the film Death on a Full Moon Day that you are opposed to the on going war in Sri Lanka. Wherever the film was shown to international audiences, the film was perceived as against any war happening in any part of the world. The film is about the social and individual cost of the war.
Human dignity is the worst casualty of war.
I represent the individuals who are the victims of this madness thrust upon them by all parties involved. To make a film successful not only the Director but the actors and actresses also need to play an equally important role. Casting is one of the most important aspects of making films. I select the most suitable player for the character, may be from professionals or new comers. Everyone involved should have the insight, sensitivity as well as the curiosity to grasp the human nature.
