Four Days at the Coli Shop

Today will be Day 3 at the Coli Shop, situated in the heart of KL, where Los and Faun come upon an interesting character and discover their purpose in life!!

We had a guest performer, Edwin Sumun, on set, and he rocked! He plays the coli shop owner with a pressing plumbing problem, if you know what I mean...

So far, the only hiccup in our production was on Sunday when it rained in Sungai Penchala in the morning. They decided to skip the morning shoot and go to the afternoon shoot in town near Dewan Bahasa, at an apartment for which our Production Manager had secured permission. Problem was, the guy who gave the permission omitted to say he had no authority whatsoever.

So when the crew arrived there, they couldn't go in, then some manager came round and said we couldn't shoot, even though we had written permission.

I tell you, if I were the PM, I would have cried and crawled into a hole. Or maybe want to attack somebody. Anyway, that whole day was a write-off and now, we are owing a day's shoot. The decision has been made to ganti with our break day, but still, everyone was on set for at least a half day - not much of a break, is it?

Other than that little setback, we are on track with our other daily shoots.

Day before yesterday we watched the rushes from Malacca and the first few days of KL - and they were brilliant!! I already spotted a few bloopers which would be great to have for a future making of programme.

Kudos to the crew, cast and directro's team for their fantastic effort and attitudes.
