Almost Home
BY MICHAEL MONTESA, LUSAKA, ZAMBIA - Well, our time is almost up here. We are leaving tomorrow afternoon via South Africa and London. I admit, being on the set was not easy and was not fun all the time but the crew made it enjoyable to be there. Sometimes, it got boring and the takes would seem to last forever. I love working with the Zambian actors. They are fun and some of them are very easy going and casual. We made a lot of friends here and it's going to be hard to go back to the States and resume our normal lives (for me anyway).
I will miss the all the crew and most especially my roommates, Carlos and Shawn. I got to know everyone and developed new friendships. What I also learned from this adventure is how much I love filmmaking. I know the work I want to do and I can now focus on the film industry. I realized that I would love to produce. I like to see how everything goes together and put the thinkgs in place to make a film happen. I know it's not easy but working with a good team (like ours) helps.
