update
so i dont have any news from my nigerian partners..i lost my phone and uchenna's number and koko seem to go to sleep too early (or i call him too late). i was waiting for uchenna to send me some stuff in order for us to make important decisions. and i'm waiting waiting waiting..
basically you guys know there are scenes we have never done but not that many (if i'm not mistaken) and then there's the much more sensitive issue of the scenes we have to re-do. for artistical, technical or even story issues..
so like while any producer will totally agree on shooting what hasnt been done because after an uncomplete movie IS NOT A MOVIE, reshoots can be more problematic. they're never totally necessary, never totally useless. so the matter has to be discussed. plus while you don't make money from an unfinished movie, how much money you make from a movie that has flaws ?
well it depends on the flaws i guess..
i mean none of us actually expected to make millions out of this (then again..), but it'd be cool if we made SOME. and our names are on the line anyway..
i mean, this movie will be on our resumes, that's why we made it and if we wish to make more, it better be good enough.
so i'm waiting for him to tell me which scenes he wants to re-do. and then we'll get to arguing. because i know i'll disagree, lol.
i'm a bit cynical and in some instances, it's not that i'd disagree with wanting to reshoot a scene or another. nah. i probably won't be convinced we'll be able to do them right. because the reason why they're not as good as expected are still there..
nepa won't get better, bad actors won't become good, and even our issues arent exactly resolved.
i wish we had done a proper check out before i left. like a day talking about how it went. would have heated but whatever. we did have a few convos and yes we have learned from the experience but i feel like some stuff hasnt been discussed.
so yeah, here we are..
i'm waiting. it's not over (because even if we wanted it to be over, it couldn't be over).
