Filmmaker's Journal

In Anticipation

08/31/05

I don't have much to write because, to be honest, I haven't done much this week. Two days in Kisii trying to set things up for Tororo, Busia, Kampala, Lira and Gulu. Walks at sunrise and sunset. I helped Kaleb yesterday cutting grass for the cows. It was fun, swinging a machete around, people stopping to stare.

The thing is, I came back to Kanga just at the beginning of the annual 'comp meeting', which means all church all the time. And as Robert (and everyone else in the community) are so involved with the church, there's no time for me. Everything that Robert and I have set up is on hold until next week. Except: Tomorrow, Robert has invited me to the church to film him leading a Q & A about HIV/AIDS for the youth. Well today Kaleb popped his head into my simba to let me know that Robert had announced to the church congregation that I would be leading the Q & A! Time to see if all this research has paid off…
