117 hours...

... and counting. It's been a very long week of other productions and work, mixed with good times with friends. My pre-trip todo list of about 200 tasks is quickly getting checked off. The next few days will be spent making sure we get everything there in one piece. Chris and I are spending Wednesday to do a final pack & gear check, and from there it's clear sailing... (if travelling to a 3rd world country can ever be clear sailing).

Details aside, our main task now is to tell the story -- finding the right people & places, getting good dialogue in our interviews, building a strong picture of the state of the country and telling it in an engaging way on film.
