18 weeks and finally an update!
Wow... Livejournal had to remind me that I have not updated in a long, long time. So now here I am! Hi all and greetings from Singapore! Things are rough and tough, but good and right now I am going through a phase of decisions. As I am editing my adaptation right now I have a big choice to make...
To shoot a film in Japan or not...
The Pros and Cons:
PROS
√ Awesome location
√ Fantastic crew that all speaks Japanese and knows the region
√ Variety of locations to choose from with Film Commissions to help
√ A month or two really indulging and pushing my boundaries as a filmmaker in a foreign place
CONS
√ $$$$ - very expensive
√ Would need to sublet my room, but I may have to move out... (am already paying for the summer it seems right now, and where I am going to find someone to sublet my place for who knows how long while I am overseas?)
√ Actors? Have no idea where to start...
√ A script... ideas and/or anyone want to help me write a 10-minute short?!?!
The cons are really freaking me out... mainly the fact that I have a lot of crap here and how on earth I am going to be able to stay in a place for two months before I fly out... hmmm... tough... Having an apartment is rough... my name is not on the lease still, so I could move out. One of my crew members is finding temporary housing in between his apartment and Japan, so maybe I could work with him on finding a place... Yeah... need to figure these things out...
Any ideas, and or suggestions - especially, DOES ANYONE WANT TO HELP WRITE A SHORT FILM WITH ME!? I CAN HAVE WRITERS THIS TIME!
Get back to me asap if you are interested! lizzlyons@gmail.com
Love you all!
Life is but a dream...
