It's a great feeling to have friends but it's a better feeling to have people wanting you to succeed. I have finally decided that I'll go for the director candidate for Med Revue 2009 and despite the fact that people are quite positive about it, I'm very nervous and excited at the same time. It was refreshing to see how some people were really excited about it and thinking of doing cast and all that. It was very warm and fuzzy. Today, I went to Law Revue again with the CSE REVUE crowd and also cos Vinnie forced the shit outta me; given that Vinnie and I haven't hung out for a while I did enjoy our time together today with Jess, him and me talking our asses away. I guess I still have that patriotic CSE Revue blood in me too despite the fact that I don't hang around there much (THOUGH I've been studying there these days for some time).So, these are the points I wanna really try as a director (if I should be voted).
- First of all, I think I would love to be honest and a bit more honest to people cos I think people would love an honest leader as opposed to a leader who's doing things for everyeone and I don't think one can do things that please everyone.
- This leads to good compromising skills and good encouragements/discouragements. For example, I'd rather I have a cast of 30+ and a good show as opposed to 50+ cast members with a hectic outcome. (I know Law revue directors have done it and I have so much respect for that and it's not my position to judge if they've done a good job or not but I did go to their show twice.)
- I REALLY wanna be open and honest to the other two directors as well as opposed to each of us venting out to our close friends and having that awkward atmosphere among us.
- I have to believe that there's no such thing as unsolvable. Anything is solvable. If things are solvable and fixed, so can our ego and stubbornness. I wanna make sure they don't get in the way. The other directors have every rights to stop me or object me.
- I want to learn things from everyone. Despite the fact that I would have the freedom to make the show however I want it, I DO need to know the trend and the blueprint of the show or the backbone. I don't wanna totally wreck something some good people came up with years ago.
- I also want EVERY decisions to be agreed by three and I want our directors to be brave enough to answer things rightly to cast members when asked.
Yes, I'm babbling stuff but this blog will help me ease my mind and make things easier if I should have a reflectory moment. I'm glad that Jack and Hutch are going for Directors as well and I think it will be a good team, also given that Mel is producing and staying with me during the medrevue era. It's a great feeling and I'm willing to learn things and give it my best shot.
I told Sam Gentle, my ex director, today and I do wanna talk with him as well. I'm gonna talk to him, Tessa, Dave Loxton, Laura D and Glenn. It's gonna be NOT easy but as self conscious as I can be and as confident as I would wanna express myself to others as, I think being a director would be very challenging and exciting for me....
Wish me luck!
