5 Aug 08.

I have asked Top to become my Production Manager and if she will write up a basic production budget for a seven day shoot (for the trailer).
I may have been overly defensive in my korero yesterday. I realize that film making is a team effort...and it is easy to alienate people if you say the wrong things.
Anyway, I have a white stallion, a 'hot' Arabian with one eye that I may be able to use for free! Ka pai! I shall try to get as much resources for free that I can. Most of the money will need to be spent on the crew and wages.
I have not yet come up with a strategy for my website (so people know about it).
I have accomplished a wide range of creative goals, producing plays, publishing books and so on. But I have never undertaken a creative goal of this magnitude before and it is extremely daunting. I compare to any other huge goal...and for me it is climbing my own personal Everest.
One thing I need to learn though is not to be overly defensive...that is what alienates others. So I will need to learn to be a diplomat! A politician! Ha ha ha.
