High Road or Low Road?

NZFC application, all 8 copies of it, sitting here waiting to go. Just need to finalise a few details in the cover letter, and tomorrow it's off to the courier with it. I still have mixed feelings about it all. On the one hand if we get our funding, everything becomes easier in terms of more money to spend, higher production values etc. On the other, there's a whole lot more levels of complication in the process. More people peering over our shoulders.

Low budget means back to the struggle. But with it the kind of grass roots artistic activity which generates that little extra bit of mojo.

Whichever way it goes, as from next week my attention turns to pre pre production tasks. The shoot will happen in November anyway, which gives us - let me see - four months till principal photography and counting. There's the odd thing needs doing before then...
