Can you cover a multi-tradition celebration — for example, a Hindu ceremony and a Western reception?
Yes, and it is some of the most interesting work we do. We have covered Hindu-Jewish, Tamil-North Indian, Indian-British and Indian-Australian celebrations where the ceremony draws from one tradition and the reception from another. The documentary approach works particularly well here as we find the real story of two families and two cultures in the same space, which is inherently richer material than a single-tradition event.
