In less than 50 days, "The Days" will open in the cinemas. As we wait (desperately) for out ratings from the authorities there is just so much we can really do. Maybe this wait is a test of our faith; and a way for us to look back at the past years and see the friends we have made along the way.
Personally, I have never worked on such an ambitious project 'til date. It is amazing seeing people come together for this - to tell a simple story. I cannot fathom how it must be like for the production of "Red Cliff" who far exceed us by 100 folds.
Our editor and colourist have been working countless overnighters. Josef, Sokkuan who are helping us with the motion graphics and illustration to give the film that added oppm! are working tirelessly. Jim is writing the last song for the film to be sung by Adele. Chee Wei is still writing the music and scheduling the plan for the next month. For many, the journey ended on the last day of shoot - you guys are not forgotten. But for the last month, it is the work of the unsung heroes, people who will not appear on the film but brilliant craft and artistry will help finish the film - and make it into a movie.
Before starting, Boi, April and myself went to have our fortunes read. As predicted, the route to finishing this film is not going to an easy one. Everyone is constantly tested; and yes - we are all feeling the toil.
I haven't been sleeping well as we wait. 50 days to go. Thank you to all.
