One of the decisions I have to make before pushing through with this script was the element of social criticism that the story entails. The film being political was a crucial choice. The criticism in the core of the narrative was something I kept pondering about.
Will it be wise to have a film with social criticism as my first project? Or should I start with a slice-of-life, emotionally-driven, artsy, romantic comedy? A hardcore horror? Or a thriller?
Mathilda is a mashup of truth upon truths; layers upon layers of forgery with the core being a hard-hitting criticism on the status quo of the country I love. So I decided. I have to challenge myself with the demands of the material. This being political is a conscious choice and no matter the outcome, I've made my stand.
Let's see how this goes.
