Onward and Upward

By all accounts the meeting between Gillies and the NZ Film Commission went well last night. There are no reports of fisticuffs or injuries. This is a positive step toward the relationship building and mutual trust necessary to working together. One more small but significant step in the long march.

And the other bit of good news is that we now have confirmation from our four lead cast of their availability for a November shoot. It's always a bit of a lottery as to whether their schedules will fit with our dates, so this is a bit of a boost. Of course it only applies right now, and everything subject to the wheeling-dealing which is yet to come. But you have to celebrate each little bit of progress.

Meanwhile, it's head down bum up for me getting ready for the public meeting about the film which will take place on Thursday. We're looking for two things from this - some people to come on as equity investors, but also building a sense of community support for the project.
