.

as i re-read the few lines i wrote yesterday, i was already wondering if my nigerian brothers and sisters would get offended.

i mean it wasn't very very positive.

plus i'm congolese and well.. we have most of that too, smaller, quieter but still.

so no, i'm excited. excited tabout visit THE african metropolis, excited about finally making a movie (funny that a 24 years old producer says "finally"), excited about making this movie with those guys.

plus i'm a firm believer in chaos.
chaos is good for creativity
chaos makes you test your limits
chaos make your brain function

and as much as i'll probably complain about all that in the next days, weeks, the chaotic aspects about this adventure are fucking turning me on.



complain #1: i really really wanted to flight through cotonou. because it's a direct flight, because it's cheaper, because i want to visit cotonou, because i love road trips.
allas, it'd be a tiring pointe-noire-brazzaville-kinshasa-lagos trip and the road trip will not involve any border passing
complain #2: contrary to my girl, i'm a bad writer and an even worse blog writer. but she'll kill me if i stop after the work she's done to make this one pretty.

it's on

so here we are... I booked my flight. may 4th.
Point of non-return ?

yeah probably..

Ok, may be I should introduce myself to the people who may read it without knowing me (one can dream right ?).

so ok, i'm 24, congolese, multilingual, smart and the shit. and i'm about to go co-produce a movie in nigeria, the country of monthly religious riots, oil worker kidnappings, census agents lynching, and 5-weeks-between-first-treatment-writing-and-dvd-release film making.

exciting huh ?

What about Go Slows, NEPA, muscular unions, between 13and20 million inhabitant metropolises and corrupt cops ?

So yeah.. I have two partner in this adventure. Well actually this guy http://combandrazor.blogspot.com/ has two partners. he wrote the script, he'll direct it, only he knows the ending right now, he wrote the musical theme and i'll let him have the actresses... JOKES, people, JOKES.

The other one is his childhood friend. I have yet to meet him in person. interesting isnt it ?

Oh I bet you want to know what the movie is about ? well.. hmm.. you'll have to bookmark this page and come back because it would be too easy, people.
*gets add contract for page*

I think it's all for now.
Day 2 aint that far.
