Script Lock
Yesterday I sent out the scene numbered and locked script for preparing budgets and schedules. There’s still a bit of work going on between director Gillies and me, which will involve a few tweaks further down the track. But this is a major step along the way.
In discussions with the NZ Film Commission about the possibilities of an application for production funding at their June meeting. A great deal of documentation has to be collated before we can get to that point. Deadline is mid-May, just before I head over to the UK to consult with our partners over there.
Some discussions taking place with potential distributors – interesting how the resolve to make the movie seems to attract interest.
I’m enjoying the broad mix of production tasks, though at times I forget which hat I’m wearing. But I’m a firm believer in writers learning production skills and being aware of all aspects of the filmmaking process. It helps to soften the feelings of lack of control…
