Actor-producer Jay Patel says he looks at the world as one big community and storytelling as an art that can connect people with each other.
His next film, "I'm Gonna Tell God Everything", is based on the real story of about five-year-old who died in a bomb blast in Syria. Moments before his death, the child uttered his last words to the doctor, "I am gonna tell God everything."
"There are a lot of issues in the world like this. I want to do something that is affecting the world. I'm not just looking for stories in India, Africa or America. For me, the world is like one big community of 6.5 billion people and I want to tell stories that haven't been heard before."
"It's a very good film. We had fun shooting it. The entire filming was done in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. A lot of Indian doctors who were studying there, they came to our set. It was a wonderful experience."
