Beauty and Brains

Just finished working on an audio edit on a documentary feature Beauty and Brains. This has kept me occupied for the past two weeks as today was my deadline to hand over the audio mix.

The film documents the Blue Diamond Society’s 2008 Beauty and Brains talent contest that promotes awareness and rights for Nepal’s third gender community. The words of the director Catherine Donaldson will explain better than I can about this film, it’s strongest point is the interviews with the third gender contestants. Catherine has managed with great sensitivity to capture emotional and open expressions from people whose lives have been marginalized from the main stream.
