Had the first production meeting today together with Sue and Mildie and we had a wide range of pre-production related stuff we had to discuss. So now I need to look at a budget of about $400 and that includes equipment rental (sticking to the basics for that), food and other production allowances and I need to minimise expenditure for art. So we are basically going all guerilla and indie here by improvising a lot of things.

The setback last night was just a mere reminder to me that I should not ever question my own ability even if others think I'm being unreasonable. If I have a goal, I have to go ahead and achieve it regardless of what I could possibly stand to lose (or gain).

I just hope my crew will remain with me throughout and I am trying my best to ensure that everything goes smooth. Now need to source for transport and try to look for more jobs to cover up for the shortfall in cash.

Mabelyn was pretty interested to know what my story was about and I e-mailed her, wonder what her reply will be haha.

Got work tomorrow, saturday, monday and tuesday for this production company as soundman that should pay me another $320 which I will probably use for this film anyway.

Welcome to the harsh realities of life.
