06/05/20 - Chapter Re-titling
âWith "NNL2: MISTAKESâ remaining unreleased and unseen yet buys me ample time to revisit and rework the actual film, making sure it remains to its purpose, its meaning and that it remains visually stimulating if not become more. The most beautiful thing about art is the fact that it takes time to perfection and Iâve realized this out of all the mishaps and the direction the entire âMISTAKESâ production project went, that I need to improve the film and truly make it a dream. Part of adding more sense and meaning to the film, I have decided to rename the titles for chapter 2 and 3 of the film.Â
Chapter 2 previously titled âThe Monistâ - picks up the main story line of journeying to committing mistakes from my growth in chapter 1 and sets it in moving to a different province to ambitiously start my life afresh and become independent. Along this journey I become oblivious to reality and the challenges of growing which was a mistake in itself that led to more mistakes. The title Monist only described a part of the chapter which is only the transitioning to independence and oneself. This chapter is not only about the transition but it is also a starting point for all the mistakes Iâve committed which I poetically explain in the next chapter. For this reason, Chapter 2 is re-titled to âInceptionâ which instead means the beginning and the initiation stage.
Chapter 3 previously titled âThe Interloperâ - being the climax of the story line, opens up and discusses all my flaws, my regrets and all the unethical activities which negatively affected my character well-being resulting to tears and regrets. I mostly open up about my varsity relationship which didnât even last for long but left me with a mighty and important lesson about myself and a side I never knew I had. Actually I reference this relationship almost throughout the chapter, explaining how I dealt with the pain of losing the one you immaturely commit your whole life to out of being naive. The title Interloper referred to my character at the beginning the relationship - being at a place I donât belong to. Because the chapter is broader than just the tip which the titled hints, I thought re-titling it to a psychological condition known as âRuminationâ is fit as throughout the chapter I talk to my âdemonsâ which got me obsessed with the pain and the thought of being revengeful.
Before I sell the whole story line out, I think it is best I leave it hereâ KIVNNL2: MISTAKES Director, Vusi Mkhabela
