Fairy Tales: a reality check

If we would have a giraffe with a cart. If we would have a flying girl. If we would have a talking Dzo. If we would have had a swimming elephant. If we would have a stuffed human. If we would have blue bees. If we would have had red grass – we would not be shooting this film but a Science Fiction Fairy Tale.

Most often things are convenience based. Sometime the film lacks reality and sometimes it becomes a fairy tale. Sometimes we need a stuffed dzo and sometimes we need a walking dzo. Sometimes we need a girl and sometimes we need a superwoman. Sometimes we need a 14 year old but we land up with a 22 year old. Sometimes we call it reality and sometimes we call it a fairy tale.

But where we stand is something to consider. We need a Dzo as our main lead. We need a horse for a return journey. We need a cattle market for the climax. But we have 16 days to shoot. One thing is for sure that some of us are aware of the reality, that’s why we changed the horse to a truck without affecting the story. What is to come, no one knows. But one thing is for sure – no horse is one headache less and some valuable time saved.

The art department is doing fine. They have the vodafone board ready and they have a stuffed Dzo. My friends, we are almost there. The fairy tale is about to begin.
