Molodist and beyond

So last week, I went to my first international film festival and I have to say I was pretty excited to go.  A car was sent to pick me and two other guys up. Manuel, who is a producer and had a film in competition and Henrik, an actor. We of course became fast friends as strangers do in a country where you know no one and can't speak the language.  We had 5 mins to change once we got to the hotel for the opening ceremony. (See attached pics) Having never walked down a red carpet to snapping paparazzo and TV cameras, yours truly had to strut her stuff and do the walk. It was a good thing I had my shades on, because the flashes were blinding.  What was funny about the whole experience was the fact that none of us had tickets to the opening film and [...]

So yesterday and the day before I was in countdown mode, excited about the fact that More Cake, my short film will be showing at the Raindance Film Festival as part of the Masters programme.

The Wheels are in Motion

So it's done. I've bought the  plane ticket and I'm now committed to going Nigeria to raise the finance for Imagine This the movie.  I'm petrified, but as they say, nothing ventured nothing gained.  I could think of all the things that could go wrong, but instead I'm going to focus on the positives.  Everything is a learning experience and even if I don't manage to raise all the money, I would have made a start, it has now ceased being an abstract idea. Next step is to start thinking about cast, crew, music and everything else that goes into making a film.  I'm super excited but also have this knot in my stomach.  Once some money has been secured, website and social media campaign will follow, so for now, watch this space for updates.
