When you wake up in the morning I'll be in the sky. I was supposed to leave tonight but there were a lot of things going on that I'm working with people on the West coast to handle so I didn't want to lose any business hours of available working because I was on a plane.
But I'm out on the first thing smoking in the morning.
I'm always reminded of when folks say ish like..."There is no such as an overnight success" during crunch time. People see the end result of something and they think it's no big deal. Well baaaaaaaaaaaaaby...that couldn't be further from the truth if I etched it in stone. Making movies is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and it's nothing you can do alone. You seriously need a TEAM of amazing people in order to make it do what it do and even then...the most minute of things could stand in your way and halt EVERY.SINGLE.THING.
I'm dealing with a seemingly minute thing right now that I never thought would or COULD ever be an issue. When I heard of it I stopped breathing and I only just started breathing again but in spurts. The magnitude of this potential problem was such that it brought me to my knees because it was NOTHING I had any control over.
NOTHING.
I've been extremely meticulous all of my life and when it's something I'm responsible for...I make sure it happens. Other folks? They might have fifty lleven other things going on and, since they are not ultimately responsible...they could give a rat's patooty if it gets done.
I've never worked like that. FOR anyone or WITH anyone.
Work ethic goes a long, long way in my book.
This movie making business is as hard as it can get and I truly don't think I will breathe properly again until it is COMPLETELY in the can and ready to be delivered.
Cannes was AMAZING to me. My presentations were on POINT! I got so good giving them that I knew what they were going to say before they said it. I scheduled meetings with smaller sales agents and distributors first so that I could "practice" before I met with the big guns. By the time I got to them I was a well rehearsed and oiled machine. I was dressed right, smiled right, laughed in all the right places. Hell...I even did girly stuff like flip my hair and teedle-laugh. Yup...alla dat. It got to the point where I had to cut meetings short so I wasn't late for my next meeting.
The kid ain't messing around but mainly because...I'm not a kid.
I'm a grown azz woman.
I finished Mika's book, "Knowing Your Value," and it was right on point. Empowering even. LOVED.IT!
I'm nervous and worried but I guess I'll always be nervous and worried. That nervous energy is what keeps me sharp and thinking on my toes I guess right?
Let's hope so.
Cannes was SO amazing to me. I loved, loved, LOVED being there. Being in the middle of it all. Being with all the power brokers. It made me feel ALIVE! Truly.
Not like I'm dead mind you.
We ended up being able to go to a private party by Red Granite Pictures on the beach where Kanye West was performing. Dude...I was like 2 people behind the stage next to Rosario Dawson (who is stunningly beautiful and whom I've decided I can't like BECAUSE she's so stunningly beautiful by the way) yelling I LOVE YOU YEEZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey...yall KNOW I love Kanye.
I gotta leave at 4:45 am. I'm already tired.
Having Robby with me taking bad pics of me is much better than having no one around to take ANY pics of me.
Sniffles.
But I have my memories indeedly.
I've been looking for linen pants with a dedicated waistband and a drawstring that are long enough to cover my feet. Of course I found them in Cannes. LOL! I bought two pair. GO ME!
I was out and about today and my hotspot stopped working. o_0
That really annoyed me.
I have soooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuch to do!
I'm sorry I've been neglected the blog. Movie making has CERTAINLY gotten in the way. I promise to keep trying.
Love yall!
