Well, I am writing this from my sister's, where I am going to crash till I find a pad. I went around to all the big food chains i.e. Pak n Save and put my notices up looking for a pad. But I think I will try and score my own flat a...I have had my own pads before and it is much better...it just costs more.
I spoke to R yesterday, she is the one doing my business grant. Her Matua died (arohamai...haere, haere, haere ra ki te po nui, te po pango, te po roa)...so I sent her a email and told her not to worry about my thing until she is better. So I will not find out if I receive the business grant or not until who knows when. It may be next week or the week after?
In the meantime, I have access to the camera equipment at 155, so I am going to go and pick that up today. Give them a koha.
I am looking after my nephew today...a real little scallywag! Ha ha ha. I will take him with me for a tiki tour!
Two cinematographers emailed me for the position today. I will look at their show reels and let them know exactly where I am right now in regards to the film...so they know exactly what is happening.
Because of my current situation, it is easy to lose sight of the main goal, but I will keep my eyes firmly fixed. I will do the show piece for the video link on You Tube this week. I will have the professional camera and I intend to do a professional job.
My enthusiasm for Shifty & Shorty is waning. A number of people have mucked me around so I do not know about it anymore. So far I only have one actor! That is after advertising on The Big Idea for ages and using word of mouth! Anyway will not pull the plug just yet. See what happens within 1-2wks and if the situation is the same, I will have to postpone it indefinitely.
