The real struggle just began.
I thought that the hardest and most difficult part was complete. I felt such a relief after the wrap as if we already had the film completely finished, in my mind the greatest goal was to shoot the film, after that somehow I thought that it would be much more easier to raise money, to get other creative people on board and to get other co-producers interested in investing in this story.
The reality was completely different and my expectations and ideas were not even a little bit close to what actually happened.
The real struggle just began.
When we finished the shooting my family, Yavor and I stayed at the Villa for a week or so just to recover and relax after the production. I thought that I would need a week to recover and after that I would be ready to begin with the editing of the film. When we started shooting it I had in mind that I would need a month or maximum two to edit the entire film. I was confident in my editing skills and my speed and efficiency of work. What actually happened was far far away from what I and the others expected to happen.
First of all I needed one month just to get back to normal life. Don't forget that I am talking about a film production for three weeks in which I was directing the film, working on its cinematography and I was helping with all of the aspects for the production. On top of this we had a four month baby constantly with us.
Can you beat that?
What else happened was that we completely spent our money from the Egregore films bank account and Yavor and I again started to spend our private savings until we got to the moment when I started to use my credit card for the needs of the film.
One of my best friends Todor Kostadinov sent me money because he found out that we are in deep shit after the production. So with those money we managed to live and work on the editing for another few months. I started to look and work again on some corporate jobs and projects, in order to earn some extra cash to pay the debts and the bills but I felt that every additional project which I was working simultaneously with the editing of the film was literally killing my creative energy and emotional capabilities.
Let me walk you through one of the most painful and emotionally demanding moments in my life. The post production of NoOne
