Zinfandel - the story behind the story

Zinfandel is a stroy about our notions of privacy and a bottle of wine.It's set in a gated community, one of the numerous dotting India's Big Cities.Its been in the making for over 6 months now. With rehearsals, mock shoots, viral fever and people quitting.Being a zero budget project, it started with the basic premise of 'Made from Beer and Love'. And it still is.The first crew changed, it fell apart quickly. And just as quickly a second one come onto being.It has had its share of ups and down till now, but some core members have stuck around.Actors...
