BSA325, funding proposal and other business, 4 April, 2017

On Friday, the director and producers submitted a proposal to the Creative arts? funding council of Invercargill/Southland.  It included our complete projected budget, concept art (including my Maori women in three colours), and the latest version of the script.  Rachel says that Mary Napa has accepted the application and has been following up with questions in spite of her reservations about student films (she believes they should be completely funded by SIT).
Ben B. said she sound supportive and would like us to get some funding.

The casting call on the 1st was a bust.  Another one will need to be run with a poster going out to schools, marae, and kapa haka groups in Southland.  The poster needs to be generated and sent out today.  Tia Fowle was great in the school play last year  and would be a great Hahane.   Kate remembers her and snapchats with her sometimes and runs into her mum at Starbucks.  I thought Tia was down in Dunedin at school, but Kate says she's actually at Girls High in town.

Storyboards need to start today.  Anna will meet with Josh, Marco, and Reuben? to get the vision.

Locations:  not sure if the Bluff Marae will let us film there and we will need to find alternatives. The script teams knows that we may need to punt.  We're not going to be ready to film in the first week of the holidays.
