FCA Commission – Peter Kalu, Filmmaker and SuAndi OBE, poet: The Silent Striker (working title)

18th June – July 2016 – Update

Silent Striker 

There’s a lot of discussing before any film goes into the can and we always work in the African tradition as you can see Pete and Clive Hunte (Film and Digital Artist) hard at work as I take the minutes (and serve the food)

But on a more serious level there needs to be a lot of discussion because as Peter and I are discovering no idea is set in stone. While the original idea remains how we achieve it is by varying degrees of diversification. The more we investigate and brains storm the better the end result will be Eventually we move from talking to action which means filming it is very technical.
