Spent days and days onlining the film only to discover after exporting to digi that there are two mistakes in the subtitles. They are very minor mistakes, but Patrick’s brain sings out “I didn’t work on this effing film for 6 years to let slide 2 minor mistakes.”
This is the project that never ends. This is the project that eats all of our money. This is the project that threatens to break both of us in two.
Is it worth it?
If you believe that this world is just an illusion, then no. Nothing is really worth it. If you believe that our sole/soul purpose in this world is to create, then maybe. It’s hard for me to tell because I am so sick of it all at the moment that I just want to vomit.
Actually, I just want to go home. But it’s always a question of money…should I throw all of the money I have into the bottomless pit that has become “Tokyo Cowboys,” or should I spend it on something as frivolous as going home to visit my family whom I haven’t seen in a year and a half.
Tough choice.
This is not bitching. This is honesty for all of you bright-eyed and bushy tailed people out there who are thinking about getting into filmmaking. This is the reality. And, sometimes it sucks. I hope to bring you good news next time so that you know it doesn’t always suck.
P.S. I just had a falafel, and I feel a little better.
