Dear ex-l
Greetings. I visited this website today and was wonderstruck !
Some months ago you wrote to the Tao of the Traveller production office for information about a press release, production details and you also mentioned Saligram Studios. However, in the flurry of rather bizarre statements that followed soon after on your colourful site, veering from arcane fables about the life of my late Father, to a zetetic noseyness about mine, I hardly knew where to begin.
The TOTT website <www.taotraveller.com> is our current 'press release'
Perhaps you could be a bit more precise about your second request.
Thirdly 'Saligram Studios' is not the name of the production company, however 'Saligram' is. The company is registered in Vic. Australia.
Saligram has made one experimental feature film bringing to life one woman's personal odyssey. Tao of the Traveller has had a number of free public screenings internationally, in cinemas, at BK Retreat Centres and other excellent venues. People of many different faiths, and people of no faith at all, have loved it. The film recently won two awards at the Accolade Film Festival in the USA, in the Research and Experimental categories
Tao of the Traveller has also played at venues where the host organisation, a film festival for instance, has levied charges. The production company and its stakeholders have not received any funds for these or any screenings, and will not do so in the future. The production company will not receive one cent from the screening of this film or the proposed website distribution, or sale of this film, whatever form this may take.
Tao of the Traveller is a small budget feature film at $120,000. 64 minutes duration.
Saligram will not enter into further discussions regarding TOTT finances, or to defend the dodgy attacks made on the company's probity by ill informed contributors to this website. However, we are pleased to continue exchanges about the Tao of the Traveller film itself, as we have been doing with interested viewers from around the world on our website:
http://www.taotraveller.com, where you are all very welcome to visit.
There are two upcoming screenings of TOTT in Australia. The screening at the attractive and appealing "alternative BK centre'' in East Sydney on Saturday 5 July at 6:30pm may best suit friends on this site. Phone: +61 2 8011 4995

Kind regards to yourself, your contributors and readers
