Hi,
My name is manoj kumar gohil. I have recently made a 1 minute PSA. I am planning to send it to disability film festival which will be held soon. I need some background music for the duration of 20-25 seconds. I can’t pay in terms of money, I made this PSA without any budget. I can only give the name in credit roll of the musician. my requirement is single instrument playing in the background like violine or any other you think best fit to this script. This background music will be played in the last scene of this PSA. On demand, I can also upload this movie on http://www.youtube.com so that you can understand well the requirement of this PSA. It is a silent PSA. Mentioned below is the script…..pl. read carefully and reply me soon if somebody is interested in.

Accept Me
Albino
SYNOPSIS
This is the story of a 17 years old Sakit, who has been suffering from ‘Albinism’, a genetic disease. Due to this disability, his social as well as personal life has been suffering. When walks on the road, people stares at him in a very unusual way that not only bring inferiority in him but make him realize as if he is not a part of this society. People don’t want to accept him as a part of this society. When he travels in a bus, all the passengers stares at him with astonishment because of his different look. His disability has spoiled his entire life. He is alone, and doesn’t dare to play with other children. Before entering in a dhaba for having meal, he thinks a lot. Because other customers sitting in dhaba, leave their chairs and sits far from him and he sits alone.
Accept Me – Screenplay.
fade in:
Ext. a dhaba – day
Sakit is on the other side of road, and coming towards the dhaba. After completing his labour work from somewhere, he is coming to have his lunch in a dhaba. People are having their lunch, as soon as they look at him coming towards the dhaba, they stares at him making him realized very insulting. As soon as he enters the dhaba, they change their seats. He looks at them with pain silently but tolerates the insult as usual and sits beside a young lady having tea. She leaves her chair, as he sits closed to her. She stands up and goes outside the dhaba, taking her cup of tea. He looks at the camera, after being insulted.
EXT. BUS STOP – day.
He is standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus. Some other people are also standing there. A man is chewing pan and looking at him continuously and by mistake spit on the pan of other person standing their. He is also staring at Sakit and doesn’t know that somebody has spit on his pant. Sakit is standing with down head. He looks at the camera with a sad face having sorrow in his eyes. Bus comes, people take their bus but he is standing alone and doesn’t take the bus. He is looking very tensed.
EXT. play ground – day.
Somebody is throwing a ball towards the sky and catching it continuously targeting pittus set in front of him, in a dusty play ground. Sakit, enters the play ground, and put his hand on a shoulder of a player like a friend and in a hope, they will involve him in the game. But he throws his hand from his shoulders and neglects him and moves a bit in the playground looking at pitthus. Sakit is standing alone somewhere in the ground looking at putthus and that guy who is going to hit them with this torn ball which has some stitching opened. He throws the ball towards the pitthus, and pitthus gets spread on the floor. And ball moves to Sakit and stops itself nearer to his legs. He bends down to take the ball……….and looks at his its opened stitchings with wonder…….and then looks at pitthus spreading on the floor. Now playground is empty, he is standing alone there thinking about his destiny.
CUT TO:
EXT. dark room – night
He is sitting in a dark room, down head on table. He takes his head slowly with tears in his eyes and looks into the camera (ZOOM IN & CLOSE UP).
Fade out

Great site, Interesting.I’m impressed.
I’m not a professional singer but has sang mainly western / English songs on stage.My voice range is somewhere between mezzo soprano and contralto. some say my voice suit more to experimental music when it comes to Indian songs.. And I have a few dubbing for radio plays and short films, again in English.
So if any one wants such a female voice for your project, do let me know.
All the every best to everyone in music world!
