In Santa Cruz, in the Wind

I'm in an internet cafe in Santa Cruz, with the wind blowing dust everywhere. I still don't have the hang of this city. Don't know what to make of it yet. We spent a couple of days in the Chiquitania, working on productions with Chiquitanos as part of an NGO project.

They really got the hang of it, which was nice to watch. They went from "lets go film some stuff" to "here is the list of things we need, here are the quotes we need, here are the images we need, how do we get them." Which is a big step. I'm a little sad that we won't have much more time in the campo with them because their communities were just beautiful. I would love to spend more time there, in communities.

We'll see what I can come up with as an excuse to hang out around there.
