#67 Pedro Collares and Elisa Paloschi

Director/Producer/Cinematographer Elisa Paloschi is on Cue To Cue today!! I am so excited to be able to bring this interview to you. Elisa has spent the past ten years bringing Driving With Selvi to the world. A documentary about a former child bride who ran away from her abusive husband and became South India’s first female taxi driver. Yes, you read that correctly Elisa spent ten years working on this documentary! I was dying to know what made Elisa want to take ten years to develop this idea and see it through.  I have the utmost respect and admiration for someone who has that kind of grit. I think most people would have abandoned the idea before it even reached the five-year mark. During the ten years, Elisa made multiple trips to India and with the promise to Selvi that if at the end of the process she didn’t like the film it would never be released! I want to be Elisa when I grow up!! To have that kind of commitment to a project and to the people the project involves says so much about her character. I am elated that Selvi did like the film and agreed to share her story with the world! Her story is one of strength and perseverance and is now empowering children and woman all over the world to understand that they have value and deserve to treated with love and respect. Elisa has launched a campaign called Save Her Seat where donating $10 sponsors a girl in India to have the opportunity to see the movie. Selvi serves as a role model to these young girls and empowers them to think about their future and the more children that see this film closer we come to changing the conversation and treatment of women around the world. Please take a moment to donate and Save Her A Seat   A little about Elisa: With more than 25 years’ experience in documentary production as a director, producer, and cinematographer, Elisa Paloschi is president of Eyesfull, a Toronto-based independent production company dedicated to non-fiction documentaries that reflect the diversity of the human voice.

Elisa Paloschi: Cultivating Your Creativity, Telling Stories With Purpose, And Making A Documentary 

Elisa and Face2Face host David Peck talk about child marriage, being present, staying positive and why Selvi’s story is an inspiration to us all.IMDBTrailerLearn more about the film here.SynopsisSelvi, like so many girls living in India, is forced to marry at 14, only to find herself in a violent marriage. One day in deep despair, she chooses to escape, going on to become South India’s first female taxi driver. We first meet Selvi at a girls’ shelter in 2004 – timid, soft-spoken, a fresh runaway from a difficult life.Over a ten-year journey, we see a remarkable transformation as Selvi finds her voice and defies all expectations – learning to drive, starting her own taxi company, leading educational seminars, and much more.This character-driven story highlights the challenges that millions of devalued women and girls in India face. In a society where women are often considered expendable or worthless, Selvi is exceptional – a charming, strong, and utterly courageous young woman who moves beyond the pain she’s experienced to create a new life.BiographyWith more than 25 years’ experience in documentary production as a director, producer and cinematographer, Elisa Paloschi is president of Eyesfull, a Torontobased independent production company dedicated to non-fiction documentaries that reflect the diversity of the human voice.Her first experimental short premiered at Int Film Fest Ouberhausent in 1992, and completed her first feature documentary, Embracing Voices, in 2012 (NXNE).
