Film Proposal
PURPOSE
I have been fond of filmmaking since childhood, for development my skill and to pay back the kindness to my entire teacher and also to fulfill my promise towards my teachers, Mr. Joe Mickey and Ms. Sazzy Lee Varga.

REASON
In today’s society, due to the outer appearance of few monks and nuns, the perception or attitude of lay people towards them is degrading and also their faith and respects diminishing which is the source of suffering for them.

AIM AND HOPE
It is not to gain profit for myself, but for the human beings, who once again can see the power of love and compassion and once again regenerate the faith and respect towards monks and nun, and hope to create a more compassionate society.

CONCLUSION PRAYER
If I gain any merit in this work, I would like to pray for the well beings, sponsor of this movie and special to my entire teacher to get rid from suffering and long and happy life.
