Had the first weekly meeting of term this morning at 9.30am, so I had to get up and get in earlier than I have been all week. Got there at 8.50am, but didn't leave the house till 7.30am due to oversleeping, so didn't do too badly.

I was teaching again this afternoon, so I had to cram a little bit. I had a brief meeting with Ruth Sidery, our head of TV production out front, followed by fixing up the Principal's new colour laser printer. Then had a meeting with the principal himself about my movie. Thought it was high time I legitimised the project by bringing it to senior management attention. Now I don't have to draw my cast and crew aside to talk to them about it, because the senior staff are all onside. Had a meeting with my leading man, and he totally got the story right off the bat. He's really pleased to be on board.

I also had a chat with the studio manager over at Christchurch to see if he would mind us setting up a green screen studio in the big studio over Easter. He said yes. So it seems like I am really making my first feature film, finally. Had a chat with various other cast members too, told them I'd spoken to all the heads of department and they are all still really jazzed about making the flick even after I showed them the synopsis, so we have as they say, a "go"project on our hands.

All we need to do is find some finance. My boss says that I can ask for money and use our name but I have to clear it with Sarah the fundraising manager first so we don't double book or at least send out confusing signals. Good job I didn't post my letter to Madonna yet. Bless my hopeless time management skills. Maybe I'll run the letter under Sarah's nose to see if I'm being patronising and/or pushy. Let's hope so. :) Just kidding.

Anyway, time for bed. It's late and I think we have some more Nip/Tuck, a few CSIs, and a Lost to watch.

Ah Madonna, my friend. Sh'yeah right.
