A DAY LATE (AND A DOLLAR SHORT IN THIS ECONOMY;)
October 3, 2008
How time flies. One week I’m on time with my Friday post and the very next week… Fail.
But to forgive is divine, the wise ones say, so let us never speak of it again. Kthx:)
I got a little caught up with another strike in Bollywood. Thankfully this one ended in days. (Take a note, America.)
A film I’m working on that’s currently shooting in India was effected, and a few 3AM calls threw me off my schedy due to that 13 and1/2 time difference and all… (And yes, in this day and age one CAN do business with a handy PDA from anywhere in the world. Global-mobile, baby!– Heck, I just finished a business deal in Dubai– within 5 emails. Next on the list is to produce a slate of films all via PDA while vacationing in Majorca:)
And okay, fine, I admit it. I DO have a VA (Virtual Assistant) who is halfway across the world and does all my grunt work while I’m asleep, ready for me after my morning shower. Yep-yep.
Til next week: All hail Variety’s new HAL blog (Hollywood’s Aggregated Links)!
So many American films are being shot in India. Just curious, are you using India as a back-drop, or is it just cheaper to shoot there and build an artificial set that resembles somewhere else?? dumb question I know, but I had to ask.
hope your film goes smoothly!
