A line from my upcoming film, which feels very apt for these times...
"Empathy is the only thing that cannot be manufactured... And we have forgotten how to practice it."
Things I’m learning o:
Producers should be paid well. This work is incredibly difficult. Actors should be paid separately for marketing and promotional duties outside their acting fees, especially on commercial films. Promotion is a full job on its own. And if a film does exceptionally well, crew members should share in that success too, especially if their original pay wasn't great. Once a film has recouped and broken even, it only feels fair. Anyway, I've been super stressed lately. Up at night working. A laborer is worthy of their wages. 😅
Meet two of the most beautiful people on earth - @andrewbuntinggh and @UzoamakaPower 😉 They’ll be at Filmhouse Surulere by 3PM today. Be early ohhh. Come watch Call Of My Life with us ❤️

So.... Tomorrow...
If I'm not miserable after getting a tooth (potentially) pulled, I shall tweet a bit about my observations on the audition process so far for THE STOOL.
Have a great Sunday.
