Getting the opening scene

Second day of filming and just before we started, one of our contacts pulled out from the interview. He had asked for payment to appear on the film.

"You do not have budget? Impossible," he said, after I explained that our were independent filmmakers and we were on a shoe string budget.


I felt cheated. Wasn't it two days ago we sat on his posh and lush sofa listening to him bragging about the family trip to South Africa catching the momentous Germany vs England match? He had agreed to do this interview then, but changed his mind just hours before the shoot.

We dropped him like a rock. Biar terbenam.

Near Masjid Ubudiah Section 19, while waiting for Maghrib. We recorded the muezzin call for the opening scene of the film.
