Tena koutou katoa...Well it is 4:18 a.m. and I just finished sending off heaps of emails to all the actors/actresses who responded to my Expressions of Interest ad on The Big Idea. In hindsight I should have waited till the money was raised and it was DEFINITELY on before putting a ad on there, but hey, I have never done this sort of thing before, and being only human, make mistakes (well that is my excuse anyway! Ha ha ha).
Yesterday was not very positive. My hui with a potential financial investor was cancelled (I am not going to bother contacting them again, if they are serious about investing in the movie, they will get back to me). One of the people I hoped to get on board changed his mind. I also lost out on a contract with Fulton and Hogan, to do a video for them. The only bright spot, was that Jan, a professional cinematographer, has definitely committed to the movie. Ka pai! That is really good news a! So I hope to have a bio on my website about him.
Yesterday I sent a number of emails to distributors. Plus I emailed a German Production Company. I will keep plugging away. Thought for the day...If you always put limits on yourself and what you can do, physical or anything, you might as well be dead. It will spread into your work, your morality, your entire being. There are not limits, only plateaus. But you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you - Bruce Lee.
