Here I am, resolved to never again make another indie film in my life.
As I mull over the events of the recent shoot, I get a text asking me to call Robbie Tan, head of the Cinemalaya monitoring committee.
“Robbie, I’m not done with shooting. I scheduled eight shooting days. I shot for ten days, I still didn’t finish it.”
Robbie assures me that it’s perfectly normal and encourages me to keep it up. I explain that I didn’t want the quality to suffer just because I’m pressed for time or money. He says that that’s the way it should be.
They expect a rough edit soon. I reply that I’d get to it.
By golly, I’ll get to it… and remember the pains we went through to shoot it? (more…)
