Michael Wiese Masterclass

Creative strategies and Multi-Market Thinking Masterclass
by
Michael Wiese

Wow, It was 2 amazing days of seminar from Michael Wiese, who is a well known Producer, Director, Author and Publisher. Totally, anyone who loves acting and producing film must not missed this great opportunity... oh well, if you are reading this blog now and didn't attend the course... you just miss this great opportunity... lol... anyways, the only reason he is down here is because he is going over to bali for his next film "Bali Brothers"

Michael Wiese and Me after the masterclass... he's a very nice fellow.. mind my haggard look.. can't shave due to the conti' of my own short film...

As usual, I like to be on the site really early just to reduce the risk of mistakes.. and to relax.. well, i reach the location really early.. its at Finas, next to the National Zoo.....anyways, thinking that i was the earliest... bt some1 beat me to it... so I sat down and chatted with him till the rest of the other people came... We registered and supposingly, we are suppose to be given a DVD... anyways, they promised us we will get it later... so anyways, the seminar started........

halfway through, CK (Wirasiswi Director) passed a note to me asking me to come out... so i did and he ask of my help to amend some typo error on the booklets they printed.. its not that i am not willing to help.. but they got us round to the seminar to improve ourselves.. instead, they didn't make the necessary preparations and amendments before the whole thing starts... I was kinda pissed off cause I missed out quite a lot on what Michael has to offer us... so anyways... we finish up quickly and got back into the hall.... to meet up with a break... lol... and the break was totally fabulous... cause there was no lunch provided due to the fact its the Ramadhan month and our Muslim friends are fasting.. and what made it worst, the canteen was close... so we had to walk 20min to the any visible food stalls... lol... all the malay stalls were close that day...

eventually, we got back to business after lunch... but the rest of the class was smooth sail... I really enjoyed the seminar and found out a lot bout producing film, making money out of selling the film and the process of generating money during pre-post production...

not only that... the reason why I say its a great seminar was because everyone there are either a producer, director, script-writer, investors or actors..... gosh... i got so much contact out of one seminar... :P

remember guys... if there is any free seminar... just go for it... gosh, if this is UK or US... people will be flocking the halls to fight for a seat... unlike malaysians... they have to beg us to go.. feed us till our mouth... gosh... grow up... and get learning...

Due to certain censorship on some of my language... i've crossed out some of the sentences... lol..actually a whole bunch... well, u know how malaysia and freedom of speech are linked... "Free Don't speak"
