Mumbai, Sept 2 (PTI) Independent filmmakers should think big and be innovative in how they handle their resources, said debutante director of the soon to be released "The Goodbye Trip". Yungander V V said he put together multiple investors and arranged the finances for the film on his own.

"Due to the large number of investors, the investment and risk of individuals is not much and gets spread out. If you have a good idea and are courageous enough to pursue it, people do come forward to help you out," the debutante filmmaker told PTI.

"It is a coming of age film revolving around 21 characters depicting what is to be at the crossroads of life and on the verge of adulthood," he said while talking about his film "The Goodbye Trip.

The film was extensively shot on Krabi island, south of Thailand. "Though the location is not of consequence to the script, Krabi was chosen because the script demanded an island. It was a beautiful and raw shooting location," he added.

Yugander said it was very different for independent filmmakers to break into Mumbai film industry where big banners rule the roost.
