So she ended up having only one shot of the dorms:
While the other shots were exterior shots of the school's infrastructure:
And some classroom pictures:
I have to admit, that is one decent looking school.

Location Pictures are Here, But...
It's not exactly what I wanted. These random shots were recently send in to me from my Production Manager (PM), Miss Fatin Humaizah. It was my own fault really, I told her to take a few snapshots of the location she's currently scouting and trying to get approval from, but I didn't tell her that I wanted extra shots of the dorms, as it would be the primary shooting location.
So she ended up having only one shot of the dorms:
While the other shots were exterior shots of the school's infrastructure:
And some classroom pictures:
I have to admit, that is one decent looking school.

Sponsor
TiCP never disclose what the initials means. All we know is that they are an organization recently founded by a group of teachers, parents and other individuals who unite and fight for boarding school students well fare.
They wanted to further publicize their newly founded organization and suggested me to make a film under their organization's name and sponsoring.
We discussed earlier on what should the theme of our first of many films (if I turn out to be good enough, that is) should be, and when I suggested Kiamu!!! they immediately agreed.
I'm scheduled to meet representatives of TiCP for pitching and discussions on the 22nd of December.
