Production day 1 : Echoes of the past

Production day 2 (does not exist): to be or not to be

At this point I’m not sure either. Everything that you can imagine could go wrong went wrong. Let’s begin with the "wonderful" weather (I vented about this earlier as well). Us procrastinating the entire summer holidays, the perfect time we thought was between monsoon (aren’t we so smart) we had to film a few scenes with the characters in the fields but they were filled with water.

 

We shot our preliminary task on an iPhone and wanted to shoot the film opening on a camera (idk why either) but guess what ? None of us owned a camera. In return to which, we had to do a lot of “begging”. We did have our Disney happy ending for a little bit when my (not so very nice) cousin agreed to let us borrow her camera. We’ve finalized the location, everything is ready then my cousin finally decides to tell me she didn’t have any batteries (yay) and Rija had her SAT exam.

 

This is turning into a diary entry where I cry about everything.

 

What else can happen right ? A day before our final shoot Fadilma disappeared (she got sick) a final phone call where all we did was cry which led me to even explain everything to my (not so very nice) cousin’s mother (this is a big thing because I would never willingly start a conversation with anyone) ,she had school tests going on (imagine us crying in a corner) but thankfully one of Meral’s friend agreed and we finally had our happy ending (we didn’t).
