HAPPY VALENTINE TO EVERYONE.
My Gosh Cousin Haruna,
1. If at all you carefully read my reply to Uncle Sountou, I made it clear that I started the Architectural Design and the formation of the "Gambian Film and Creative Industry Association (GAMFCIA)" collective bargaining arm without Jammeh's green light. I am not waiting for him 100%. The main commercial arm "Gambia Film and Creative Industry Development Company (GAFCVDC)" will be incorporated as Limited Liability Company once I am encouraged by the ground realities.
2. DO CRITICS/SCEPTICS WANT ME TO DENY THE GAMBIAN REALITY?
3. I AM NOT like the ordinary Gambians who can just go back and start something sensitive IN THE GAMBIA without even a cock crowing. SHOULD I DENY THIS REALITY?
4. Political manoeuvring is part of the Creative Arts. The US American creative talents manoeuvred during the Dictatorial McCarthy ERA. The Producers of the Mafia blockbusters THE GODFATHER, THE GOOD FELLAS and SCAR-FACE had to get the green light from some MAFIA BIG KIDS before dramatizing certain things - just to protect their cast and crew. The MAFIA COMMUNITIES LOVE SUCH GANGSTER MOVIES ABOUT THEM. Just call them and they will give you all the support you need to make the gangster movie succeed. They will even volunteer to add more spicy insider stuff.
I made reference to the upcoming USA movie on OSAMA BIN LADEN that is getting the greenlight from Obama's WHITE HOUSE. Some Hollywood Filmmakers had to drop critical Chinese scenes in their movie and replace it with North Korean ones. The producers of PEARL HARBOUR got the green light of the US Department of Defence.
5. Why is it that Creative Talents are not having the courage to shoot powerful movies on Islam? The movie THE MESSAGER (RESALLAH) on the Prophet of Islam by Mustapha AKAD was the last serious one. Mr. AKAD was bombed to death by Muslim Fanatics even though the movie showed only the positive sides of Islam and the mission of the Prophet. Latest efforts to produce a serious movie on the Qur'an were dropped as producers did not know which Islamic school of thought should give the unanimous green light without some fanatics going on rampage - bombing and beheading people.
6. For my film on FGM (Adah- The Last Circumcision in Africa), I had to use the FATWA of the AL AZHAR UNIVERSITY against the practice to shield myself. Once I release it and the fanatics start complaining, I will use the Al Azhar Fatwa against FGM as my green-light argument. I AM ALWAYS READY TO CHALLENGE TABOOS BUT I ALSO RESPECT CERTAIN RED LINES; NOT OUT OF COWARDICE but for self-protection and consideration of other innocent people's feelings.
7. The Oliver Stones, Mac Zuckebergs, Steven Spielbergs, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and company were able to make impacts thanks to the US GOVERNMENT of the day that created the enabling environment for them to thrive. Most of the technology from SILICON VALLEY and HOLLYWOOD are spin-offs from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of US Department of Defense, NASA and similar government innovation programmes. The US NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS (NEA) is green-lighting projects of creative talents every day.
8. My Gosh, I want to start something with high-impact in JAMMEH'S GAMBIA, not OBAMA's USA, WADE'S SENEGAL or JONATHAN'S NIGERIA.
9. People can say whatever they what. There are certain aspects of the VALUE CHAIN of the Creative Project that I am working on without Jammeh but there are others in which I will have to go through him - if within the jurisdiction of The Gambia.
10. One cannot even take innocent pictures in the neighbourhood State House, July 22nd Square, Airport, etc., without getting arrested. The Nigerians who shot MIRROR BOY in Gambia got Jammeh's green light to shoot at the AIRPORT, HOTELS and other exclusive locations that the average Gambians cannot access easily. The Nigerian slapped the Ghanaians with minimum green light fee to shoot on locations in Nigeria. The Ghanaians retaliated.
11. The standard practice is that you need some kinds of PERMIT/GREENLIGHT to shoot or work in certain locations. This is the REALITY of the creative industry. In my BACKFIRE movie I got the greenlight from the City Authorities of Cologne to use and block a road for a scene. I also needed the green light from the NEIGHBOURS of the road due to the heavy activity of the cast and crew! The scene in which I played the JANITOR would not have been there that way without the owner of the APPROPRIATE/SUITABLE villa giving me the green light to trample on his flowers and lawn! The alternative option would have been through GREEN STUDIO and compositing.
12. HOW MANY KAMBIYA L BANTABA KAFOMOLU will let me shoot movies in their beautiful houses, cars, gardens, shops or offices without their PRIOR GREEN LIGHTS? If for example one of their sons or daughters fits the characterization of my particular film, will they allow me to give him or her the role without their PARENTAL GREEN LIGHT - especially when the movie is about a sensitive/controversial SOCIAL TABOO?
13. I am neither an amateur, semi-professional nor a novice in the Creative Industry. PLEASE. In the film and creative business, I feel comfortable like a FISH IN WATER.
14. I believe am wasting my time patiently repeating myself over and over here.
For everything else, when I am in Gambia, the reality will work.
Thank Uncle Sountou, should I need mediation, I will surely raise the alarm and approach the people you nominated. But for now I want to try my direct formal and informal approach that I already started.
Nawari
Prince BA Sankanu
