JABBES MVULA, LUSAKA, ZAMBIA, AFRICA – I must admit I was very worried about making this movie. I was concerned about how the revised script would be received. I was concerned about the safety of the crew while traveling and visiting Zambia. I was worried about the cast and locations and props. It seemed that my concerns were warranted because last week was very difficult. We were all trying so hard to accomplish so much that at times I felt nothing was being accomplished! At the end of the week we were so exhausted and frustrated that I began to worry more. We took the week-end off. I slept. On Monday morning we started again. By the end of the day we had done 11 pages of the script! It was a great day. I realized then what Cyndi had known all along. The first week is hell. Everyone is trying to find their place and how to help. After six days everyone settled down and we accomplished more then we had planned for. It was amazing. I feel so grateful to everyone and their patience.

Everyday we shoot we become better at what are assignments are. Our shots are getting better. Our lighting is even more amazing. Our sound continues to be exceptional. Everyone is working together. Now as we work hard to accomplish so much we are accomplishing more. As we view the daily shots I am so proud of the crew and the cast. They are capturing my vision. This movie is going to be even better then I imagined.
