two hours to go before christmas, and i have loads of work to do.
transcription for the last project, which the holiday tasks have hindered me from starting.
review of a script of a short film that we're shooting in two weeks.
production calendar for another film (o di ba, feeling superman/superwoman/supergay ang mga utaw sa grupo namin, di pa nga nagsisimula ang isa may pangalawa na. hay god help us.)
and on top of that, the pressure i'm feeling over having to finish a bulk of my (individual) preproduction work for the personal project within the month of january.
yeah, i know, i'm rambling again.
just some thirty minutes ago i got into a really bad mood swing because there were no available Autolad Max supplies anywhere near our neighborhood. ano ba, low EQ ha!
buti na lang there was the nearby 7-eleven and its helpful personnel to the rescue.
hay. dalawang oras na lang, pasko na. what makes this christmas different from the past 24 christmases of my life? nothing, except for the addition of new contact numbers to send "Merry Christmas" text messages to. and the new experiences of the past year, which i can't say i had in the previous years.
two weeks of preprod. can i pull this off? can i actually make a good short film with just two weeks' preparation? only the future will be able to answer that. and i have to make sure--by god, i MUST!--that the answer will be in the affirmative.
all these thoughts on Christmas Eve. haha, bah humbug.
i'm kinda missing the last batch of co-workers. when i said we were an "ideal troupe", i wasn't exaggerating. everyone was just so dang...ideal. nice, down-to-earth, lovable people. professional workers. i love them.
what did our pinoy line producer say? he said that the odds of getting to have a shoot that was as smooth as the one we'd had were 1 in 30. i say that the odds of getting to work with a group like the one we'd had are 1 in 300.
sniff sniff. that's life. a series of hellos and goodbyes.
time to try having a merry christmas.
