Words have a force and power, strong enough to change destinies, believes our guest for the day, Anil Annaiah, the founder of Annleela Visual Solutions / Annleela Films, Brand Radianz – Me The Changemaker and A New Life Pledge.
His work from the last two decades has been about conceiving and contributing to diverse assignments as an ideator, photographer, artist, writer, podcaster & filmmaker.
Passionate about developing ideas for creative engagements to build new changemakers. He continuously explores possibilities to build participative platforms for social sustainability. His diverse experience and collective knowledge from the last two decades, lends him rich communications expertise.
Well, “It has always been about pursuing my passion for creating images and writing. I bought my first camera at the age of eleven, and around the same time, I had filled a small notebook with a few poems, which extended into more writing like short captions, letters, and essays. These two creative expressions became the mainstay of my career path, too, and are now being used to fulfill the purpose of bringing about social impact with behavioural change through participatory engagements to keep building a better world.”
He is a filmmaker, ideator, photographer, and an artist. “I have always found writing, ideation, creative visualization as a part of my everyday endeavour, and all these three dimensions shaped me,” he says adding about Wide Canvas. “This is my 8th book. From the very first book, the inspiration for me has been to inspire a change in thinking possibilities for the better.
The aspiration is to assist everyone in thinking or reflecting with a new understanding so that they can be more peaceful and resilient as they navigate through the challenges life throws at them. Wide Canvas follows the same pattern of presenting thoughts and perspectives to instill positivity, facilitate learning, and bring joy and calm to the lives of its readers.”
It is a title that signifies that this book reflects all of us living in the world. “The cover image of the endless sea with blue skies as it’s backdrop, for me, suggests that readers can build their lives with hope and wisdom, forever reaching any positive destination they wish to attain in their lives. These are written over a period of time.”
He further adds, “They come to me just like an instant realization, a moment when I am suddenly struck with a deep insight, and they are totally unpredictable, occurring at different places and times. There is no specific control I have over them. I write them down in my style of comfort, and they eventually become the book. The photography images are also captured intuitively, as I recognize something or am drawn to certain colours, light patterns, structures, and so on. But all these elements are there, filling that magical moment of art and might just change in an instant.That perfect moment for me is both fascinating and humbling as I do not create it; I merely capture it.”
He is now coming up with his next book, The Starburst, which is almost ready and hopefully will be shared with everyone before the end of this year or in early 2024. Also, as a filmmaker, he is currently working on a biopic of a freedom fighter. to be released in a museum.
