22 Nov 08

Mr. Netana-Patuawa went to the screening of the movie, 'Flat Life', by the Aitken brothers. They are 16-17yrs old. Mr. Netana-Patuawa acknowledges their success. They will one day be top directors in Aotearoa...this is a certainty.

As for Mr. Netana-Patuawa's hikoi (journey)...well...he is going to succeed. He is going to direct a feature film one day. Hell...if a 16 and 17yr old can do it...he can...and will too!

Anyway...the footage from the short movie shoot was pakaru (no good)...due to the Canon XL1, which Mr. Netana-Patuawa gave back to Bill Hohepa for a full refund. He has bought another camera. So that was a complete waste of time.

It is easy to become discouraged...Mr. Netana-Patuawa has many obstacles...external and internal...which he has to overcome on a daily basis. Still, he will keep on keeping on. He will believe in himself and in the power of his dreams. No one will rob him of those...especially not the dream stealer's (of which there are many in this world).
