Shravan Kambam, M.D. has been the driving force behind the creative development of Remember the Roses. A board certified Radiation Oncologist, Shravan has combined an entrepreneurial interest in both healthcare/biotechnology and film/media - most notably with the establishment of AllianceMD. Shravan also produced his first film, Strictly Sexual (A Love Story), released in early 2009 by Arts Alliance (and subsequently topping several independent rental markets several months later). Building on the experience, Shravan established an indie post-house ImprintArts to consolidate post-production processes. Knowing the importance of unity of creative and financial control over a project, Shravan decided to steer Remember the Roses away from a studio trajectory as the prototype of his marketing vision of creating high concept films capable of mass international market appeal.
