Terrace Club Indian Film for Bhavim and Mala

The Terrace Club sits in Austin, Texas Hill Country light. Bhavim and Mala used it for a full Indian ceremony on 16mm: red and gold, mandap drapery, varmala roses, mehndi, baraat, and dandiya after dark. Adam Grumbo Films prints that as color that already knows how to behave on film stock.
