It’s been day 2 and a little bit of headway has been made.  I ventured off the Island and headed into the mainland to an important meeting which was arranged as I was on my way to another meeting in Gbagada.  I did my first ever film pitch and it wasn’t until I was halfway though that I actually realised I was trying to sell the idea to this guy.  Which is when the panic set in and the levee’s breached underneath my arms and all the tips and tricks I’d learnt in the past couple of months just went to pot.

Despite my mumbling and fumbling with sentences, I was able to articulate my vision for the film and in the process, bag myself an Executive Producer (EP).  Which means I’ve gone from being a team of me to a team of two.  Yay.  I’ve also set up a meeting with a possible casting director on Thursday.  Slowly but surely things are coming together, it will take time to get all the pieces in place, but a small step forward has eased the burden from my shoulders.

For the interested few friends who are keeping up with my journey through this blog, lets face it theres only 4 of you :-), however I digress. The EP is the one and only Muthar Bakare, part of the team who put together Half of a Yellow Sun.  I’ve barely scratched the surface, but it sure is good to know there is someone else I can bounce ideas off of and ask for help.

Took some photos from a moving car and managed to miss all the interesting scenery. 🙂 I’ll upload tomorrow.
