TO BE A WOMAN



It has been an intense 8 months. Working non-stop on the film #Likecottontwines. Its ran my emotions pretty raw.
Finally this week, I got to watch the full film. Well edited, temp music, temp sound, but the general direction was there. My editor Ting, said: "It feels like a documentary".
I agree.
Initially, I was tempted to be a little idealistic. Have the hero, the heroine... but I decided against that. I said I am going to tell it just as it is. Not the romanticized cinematic version, just as it is. The crap women go through. The things we endure so men can excel. Lord have mercy.
