After some rest, it was time to keep going. I spent a good portion of the day just doing boring but necessary things, like backing up work. I needed to refocus once again on making this project possible after the huge disappointment with yesterday’s singer and his lack of preparation.I spoke to Ustad Anb Jogi on the phone and we worked out some options regarding music. Later in the afternoon, I called up Rashid Haideri and asked him what happened. Why did the recording go so badly? For an artist, their work is their calling card and is the standard by which they are judged. The music wasn’t going to make me look good for using it or him for his performance. I asked if he could come by again after memorizing the script so that we could get it right for all of our sakes. He agreed to do so. That means additional costs on my end that I’m just going to have to eat up in regards to studio time, and the fees for the other musicians, but it’s no good to have substandard work in a film. That would cost me a lot more in credibility in the long run. Also, this was the opening of the film.In the evening I printed some scripts to hand off to some replacement singers for a singer who clearly was not going to rehearse or call me back to make my life any easier regarding another major portion of the film. At this point, good singers who would put in the time to rehearse were more important than that particular voice I really wanted who was clearly not going to do the work to pull this off. It was a question of doing this film or not.
