It’s been quite a few days since I wrote in my blog. If you are in America, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.
As you might have noticed, I haven’t written a blog post in a while. This is so because the past two weeks have been the busiest in a very long time. I had been putting in 18 hour days. It’s difficult to get the mind settled for long enough to write when there is so much going on. It was difficult to wind down enough in order to get some sleep, let alone write a blog.
I was working on setting up a kickstarter.com page. Kickstarter as I mentioned in a previous post is a website designed to help filmmakers raise funds to complete their projects. People usually have a graphics and media department that handles things such as this. Being that I don’t have such a department, I have to do all the set up myself. I did all the writting and graphic design for the page. Take a look at the image to the left, I designed that. It is the poster for the film. I usually love writting, graphic design and video editing, but there was just so much of it. I got it done though. Noone wants to listen to excuses, they just want to know that you delivered. It literarily felt like I was in a trench while I was doing much of this work because I rarely saw the light of day. It is all done though!!
Another major thing that took up much of my time was working on finalizing contract issues with a PR company in Nigeria. In my experience, much of business lives and dies in the contract. You have to go through every word, every line and every paragraph with a fine tooth comb. It’s always best to have a lawyer take a look at all your contracts before you sign. Contracts are usually written to cover the interests of the other party, so you must make sure that you are covered before signing. This was a rigorous process, but thankfully, We were able to get it done. It is signed now and we are ready to move forward with the trip to Nigeria.
So now the page is done, please check it out and give. Please help support my project and help make this film come true. Thank you
