The film/photography ventures of powerhouse production team Bob and Jag Gundu are continuing to earn the Indo-Canadian brothers titles as diplomats of the multicultural Canadian art industry, similar to America's Cohen or Hughes brothers being known as senators of independent Hollywood cinema.

Mass publicity surrounding the upcoming "Spiderman III" release has offered special effects buffs another chance to study the Canada-developed MAYA software responsible for major cinema advances, from the Marvel comic superhero's digital stunt double to a host of digital performers in George Lucas' recent "Star Wars Episode III".

Not only was Bob Gundu a member of the Alias-Wavefront Toronto company's team that designed MAYA, but he was even awarded an Oscar for scientific and technical achievement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences March 1st, 2003 (at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles), placing the Alias-Wavefront team recipients among just a handful of past Canadian Oscar winners and Bob making history as the first ever Indo-Canadian Academy Award recipient.

Having already teamed up in Canada with the stellar likes of Nelson Mandela, Tiger Woods, Vince Carter, and the Williams sisters, Jag Gundu continues to showcase his largest camera collaboration partner to date - the 2nd most populated country in the world, India. Chronicled in a short accompanying landscape & architecture film by Bob Gundu, the photography exhibit originally drew extensive praise at its 2004 National Film Board 'MediaTheque' premiere from Toronto Mayor David Miller, who arranged a special showroom meeting with Jag to commemorate Canada's Annual May 'South Asian Heritage Month'.

Bob Gundu's past Canadian actor alumni enhanced by Alias-Wavefront MAYA software include Jim Carrey in "The Grinch", Mike Myers in "Shrek", Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix", Brendan Fraser in "The Mummy", and Anna Paquin in "X-Men". United States MAYA alumni include Indo-American directors M. Night Shyamalan for "Signs" and Tarsem Singh for "The Cell", not to mention MAYA cinema studio alumni of Sony Pictures, Imageworks, Walt Disney, Warner Brothers Studios and Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks SKG.
