Africa

I'm going there. Tomorrow. For reals.

Nine AM tomorrow I embark on a ridiculous adventure. I will be heading to six (six!) African countries: Mali, Malawi, Liberia, Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa. Not necessarily in that order, but I can't actually remember the order.

I'm headed to Africa with two lovely people, Cary and Ciona, from an organization called Pray With Africa, based out of Nashville. They were looking for a video/documentary guy to shoot some stuff. I was looking for a chance to go to Africa. Hurrah!

I will be shooting a series of short subject documentary portraits, attempting to tell the larger story of some of the continent's most critical development issues through the lens of an individual's story and prayers.

We're basically going to be hitting a country a week. Which means essentially a doc a week. Which is, in case you were wondering, crazy. But crazy in a good way.

We've got a lot of contacts lined up. Please pray that doors open.

I'll do my best to keep this blog updated with thoughts and photos and videos and the like in travelogue/blog form and I hope that will help some of you to share in just a little of the adventure with me.

Ummm... yeah, so that's it. Holy geeze. Tomorrow morning. I need to pack.

Also, I made this movie last week for my church. I hope you like it. It was shot on the crazy cool camera that Pray With Africa bought for this trip... so hopefully I will be making some beautiful movies indeed.
