YET AGAIN!



yup! we are at it yet again! my production is being postpone again! due to actor's commitment... sigh! well, this is the very nature of making a movie in my country. when budget is so small, actors have to take on more jobs than they could handle. how i wish that we have just a small friction of hollywood budget. say 10% from transformer the movie would be so so so enough. all the actors could just take on one singular job from me and being done with it for the whole year. well! right now i am looking into new actors to replace the old ones. and anopthe challenge is to face the bankers, we have another obstacle from them. they don't really understand how movie making...well! being made...all that we signed upon those agreements stated that we have to use the actor/s that we choose the first time. no doubt that we wanted to but due to their timing, i as a producer must act fast and replace them before i sustain more losses in monetary form. i have already lost near 200k for the past 3 months. not a nice feeling but hey! "no pain no gain"... - producer

PRODUCT SPONSORSHIP




nope. paris hilton won't be in our movie! but carl's jr most likely would be. had spoked to them earlier, they are very keen on making a fantastic comeback. they have missing in action in malaysia for a long time. too long actually. we have approched and still approching and being hopeful for more sponsorship to come in. not easy i must say. we have presented to so many potential sponsorship partners. carl's jr was recently added to the list, we had some casual chit chat and now branstorming on how to make the partnership works. having premium burgers for a week, not a bad idea. - producer

DOMINO EFFECT 2.0


it has happen yet again. production is stalled once more. due to artist timing problem. the pre production are all done. we have the locations, we have the props, we have all the artists line up, all necessary items been book, i even paid a resort in pangkor in advance. now all stop because of one artist, and the best part is he's the lead. welcome to my world. the domino effect of a production, one stop all stop. that is why production is a team effort, team work. one cannot work without the other. not the film director, not the producers, not anyone. and i have made a lost in monetary value more than MYR200K for the past 3 months. not happening. right now i have to make with other smaller production to make money back to cover up the production. what a hard way to make a film. at times, i wanted so much to drop it all. but i told myself that these all are blessing in disguise. - producer
