Film Festival update

The other day, I greeted the news that my short film More Cake was going to be screening at Raindance Film Festival with ambivalence. On the one hand I was happy it had been accepted as one of the MA films showing, but there was a part of me that was disappointed because I knew friends, family, cast and crew would only have this one chance to see it on the big screen. There will only be the one screening. To make matters worse, it's in the middle of the afternoon on a work day so the likelihood of people turning up is also going to be minimal. Which is probably a blessing in disguise considering the theatre only has 88 seats. Which brings me to the point of this post, anyone who would like to see what I've been yammering on about for the past 6 months will have [...]

The Value of Good Feedback

So most of you know that I've just finished my first short film. I'm assuming you know, anyway it turned out to be one of those bittersweet experiences. That's a story for another day, but what I'd like to think is that, I learned and will grow from the experience. So the next step on this journey was to submit More Cake to film festivals. My original intention was to pick the top 10 and only submit to those, however I received a healthy dose of REALITY when a fellow filmmaker showed me the list of festivals he had submitted to since last year. He was over the 100 mark and still going. "It's a numbers game, and you have to develop very thick skin," he advised me. I understood what he meant when the first rejection hit my inbox, the searing pain in my chest caught me by surprise, [...]

Do It Your Self

From time to time I meet someone who tells me they loved Imagine This and would like to see it as a film. I've always resisted the idea, not because it won't make a good film, but because casting Lola is key and where do I find a Lola Ogunwole. Add to that, the fact that it would have to be shot on location. Don't really think anyone would want to do a 2wk or however long it will take, shoot in a Nigerian village. Someone did suggest South Africa, but then that changes the atmosphere. Another thing is that the first half is set in the late 70s so costume will be another important factor. I see so many things that could go wrong, however; now that I've got the film bug, I'm thinking I should just write, direct and produce it myself. Yeah like that would ever happen, [...]
