The Co-Director of Love Games
Well, I have some interesting news.
I have been promoted to co-director on a short film project Love Games, a movie my friend Ron has been dying to get off the ground for a while.
Basically the premise goes that there is this upcoming rapper, Julius, who meets this woman who he really likes. The woman, Cheryl, is very seductive and loves to do many erotic things in bed. Julius becomes completely enthralled by her but soon things start to go sour. Cheryl won't return his calls suddenly. Is it another man? But then one night, Cheryl invites Julius over to make up with him. However, what is about to happen to him is unimaginable to many and will leave him rather scarred and humiliated for there's nothing he can do about it. What is Cheryl's real agenda?
I know it sounds like it turns into an erotic thriller but let me assure you it doesn't. Something really awful does happen to him but it's actually just a scenario of the everyday horrors that could happen to us all and it just seems so surreal when it is happening. Also, it focuses on how society has these black and white set values that make some things look serious and others amusing even though something really horrible will look humiliating overall. But of course, the film definitely has its share of sexual content but it's not the main focus of the film.
Anyway, Ron showed me the script a while back. The potential was there but it was very bare bones so I added some meat to its bones. After that, we locked a director who has been part of the production crew of many film projects that come in and out of Detroit. We also had our lead cast and the person who is to play his friend in the movie. After that, we had to find two women to play the parts of Cheryl and Red.
Well, Saturday we held casting auditions for the parts of Cheryl and Red. Theoughout the auditions, I directed the girls to act a certain way and try it different ways and due to this, I got promoted to being co-director. I'm really psyched.
Then after that, I went over to my friend David's house and we spent most of the night just joking, playing games, and watching movies. Then today David, Adam, and I went to mall. David ended up buying two different games, one of them being some fairly hard to find title called Bujingui. It was actually pretty cool and I really don't tend to get into those kind of games. After killing some more time at his house, I came home.
Overall, a really good weekend.
