TOUCHING A DREAM...

Dreams are strange things - usually lofty, usually at the end of a long road, usually difficult to obtain.

Yet dreams... are contagious, invoke passion and undoubtedly worth it at the very end.

Yesterday, the road to the RSD dream continued. Plans were considered, schedules were worked out and the shoot was preliminarily planned. It was but a small step in our great leap of faith - yet while I was gesturing wildly at the projected Gantt chart (which, with the help of a projecter covered 1/3 of Fergus' wall), explaining some idea or another I cannot help but felt excitement. As my hand moves over the chart - I feel like as if I am literally touching a dream - one that Fergus has so generously shared with us.

Mind you, there is a long way to go - but finally I can see that we are plotting a course to our destination - the chart is being drawn, ready for us to navigate! And what a breath-taking journey it will be.

God said, "My presence will go with you. I'll see the journey to the end."

A STAR IS BORN

Every night is a new beginning. Every night, a window is opened on prehistory.

Last night, with the trusty help of Jack and Eevon, we completed both the rehearsal and shooting schedules on a Gantt chart. It helps to see everything put down, and it is definittely exciting to behold.

I'm still gripped with an unshakable fear of the bollywood shoot and all the preparation it entails, but i guess if there's something for me to fear, it ought to be that. Bhangra aside, i can feel the wave of confidence kicking through the whole team now.
