Channeling Bollywood with Bushwick’s Em Tee
So last night, Bushwick resident Em Tee live-tweeted her Bollywood movie watching, continually pairing images on the screen with snappy summaries of the plot at hand.
Em Tee knows these tropes well–first hand in fact. In a film about to be released, “Isha: A Tell All Tale,” Em Tee, (full name: Meenakshi Thirukode) plays a young South Asian woman trying to find a place in the seemingly hostile New York art scene. Tee, who wrote and directed the film, deployed the plot devices and narrative arc of an Indian soap opera for “Isha.” Check the preview:
