It is interesting how the ‘next generation’ is always seen by the previous generation as lazy and lacking direction. We have seen such representation in a lot of our films. But this coming week, a group of youngsters, led by Ken Karunaas, is coming up with a film that sees laziness as relaxed and a lack of direction as free-flowing.
