I woke up early in the morning and started working from 7AM. Working on my proposal about a near future feature program I'm obliged to take the lead in making. There's many ideas, but there's a huge obstacle of getting permissions to film (or even to get just bits of information!) and it may become a unavailing task to write any proposal without securing the needed permissions.
Later in the morning, I was cornered to show some progress in the reaseach as I received a critical e-mail from Tokyo asking for the progress. I couldn't say I'm wasting my time for two months and it was my only choice to write down "overestimated" materials with opacity about how I can manage to make such a program!
In our documentary about India, almost everything we filmed in India was not written in the first proposal. We had to find alternatives to what we were prepared to film, which were postponed or cancelled. Still we managed to make a long program and through intensive debates at the editing process, we were even given words of praise. It was mainly the sufficient work by the chief editors and producers that brought us to success and this time I also would like to see some help from our brilliant staff in Tokyo.
My headaches will continue on until the day of the broadcast, but I'm already walking the path to this challenging feat!
PS
I had a throat ache and headache in the morning... was it the mosquito-repellent smoke? Oh I hate those mosquitos disturbing the pleasant sleep!
rice balls and coffee!? maybe the wrong combination...
