'Naked in Ashes' all set for its theatrical release in L.A.

 

Created by a team of filmmakers in Los Angeles, 'Naked in Ashes' a

108-minute feature documentary that depicts a fascinating and

palpable experience of the yogis in India, is all set for its

theatrical release on Oct. 21 at the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles,

according to a press release.

 

The film tells stories of several Indian yogis, their daily

activities and their pilgrimage in the Himalayas to the Kumbh Mela

spiritual festival that takes place near Allahabad every 12 years.

 

'Naked in Ashes' reveals the curious reality of these holy men, who

find true satisfaction in nothing less than leading a life of

chastity, austerity, and complete devotion. From covering themselves

for warmth in the ashes of the dead, to pulling automobiles by one's

genitalia, the film captivates with its candid portraits of these

rugged and ragged individualists, shot in stunning cinematography,

the press release said.

 

Directed, produced and written by Paula Fouce, 'Naked in Ashes'

involves many top rung filmmakers like: Tim Kettle, a nominee for

five Director's Guild Awards, and who has received two Emmy

nominations; editor, William Haugse A.C.E., who had received an

Oscar nomination for Best Feature Editing for the Academy Award

winning documentary 'Hoop Dreams,' and creative producer, Maria

Florio, who co-wrote, co-produced and co-directed the Academy Award-

winning Best Documentary, 'Broken Rainbow.'
