Noor Nissan Films
is a New Jersey and California based Production Company. The producer
of the film, Gagan Amitoj Kaur is a telecom professional working in
New Jersey. Taranjit Singh is a young and energetic engineer working
in California. The director of the film Ish amitoj Kaur is a professional
filmmaker.
The trio combined together their acumen to make a first ever film
on the Sikh Diaspora.
The Director of NN Films, Ish Amitoj Kaur, moved to California earlier
this year. With a Masters in the Performing Arts and an extensive experience
in the Indian Media – Television and Mumbai Film industry, this
Fellow of National School of Drama had her eyes set on mainstream Hollywood.
But she thinks differently now – “Hollywood can wait”,
she says.
Venturing into her Sikh community in Fremont, Ish says she realized
two things – first, Sikh children, like all others are affected
profoundly by the media and there is a dire need for us as a community
to have their lives portrayed as lives of normal people, just the way
it really is. Secondly, the elders in the community feel concerned.
“We want a platform to voice our feelings”, they say. They
want their real life stories portrayed authentically. And The Noor Nissan Films
has pioneered a step in this direction.
After working on major projects like ‘Pinjar’ and ‘Asa
Nu Maan Watna Da’, Ish found a lot of Punjabi culture portrayed
in them. “That’s good”, she said, “Language
is an important element. But what about Sikhism – The Sikh Culture,
the ethos?” The answer to the question comes in form of her debut
film “Kambdi Kalaai”
