Thoughts for the day

It’s been a long while

And a busy one, though more stressful now then anything I’ve ever had to work on before in my life.  I very much doubt that my ulcer is going to calm down any time in the near future.  It’s a very long process and often wrong decisions, bad timing and lack of proper knowledge can be damaging.  I’m still as confident as ever about how good the film will be, it’s just more stressfull and taking so much longer then I could ever have expected.

So whats the story?

Lots of interest in casting, lots of interest in the project over all just no urgency from anybody.  People just take an intolerably long time to do anything. But the only person blamable for this I suppose is me.  There is only one person that can drive this project further forward it would seam.

Next?

Just waiting for a couple of phone calls that could very well be game changers.  And it’s the waiting that is killing me.

Making Movies

It’s not as hard as I thought it could be now that we are on project “No Balls” full time.  What is interesting is just how tired one becomes. The hours make it physically hard whilst the sheer number of mini-decisions and thinking are just exhausting. So I’m tired, but never have I felt that I’m so alive.  I have to pinch myself on the odd occasion just to make sure its really happening.  But it is.

None Disclosure

There is a real limit to the things that I can talk about now that we are deep into the film making process, the script has been developed way past my origonal expectations, the production team greater then we might have hoped for and this week we start casting, or priliminary casting.  It’s a beyond exiting period in my life.  All good people, all good.

Getting to the point where

We are starting to look at the smaller details.  Finding those little things that make you want to watch a film again because you missed all those things that we spend so much time thinking up.  It’s about getting those little things happening in the background, that make you laugh, things that are not so much about the story, just there to make you happy.  And for us, it’s a lot of fun, its one of those things that happens towards the end of the script process.  Which in itself means we are very close.
