Im here in Dar & after staying at the Palm Beach Hotel for the 1st few days. We moved to some pretty dam Pimp condos. That we had to Drive down the worst dirt/mud road to get to. I have to take some pics of the place. Yesterday was a long incredible day. Went to the hood in Dar & I was treated as a local. Words cant really describe it. The smells of burning wood in home stoves & African cooking mixing in the African air. People walking around in bright beautiful clothes. The men in cool shirts & many women in Brightly colored hijab. We found 2 locations.
A side note is we ended up having to do a bunch of pre pro when we arrived because someone had not locked down locations or actors.
Anyway the van from Sofia Productions (our people on the ground in Dar). So we hung out, took pics & drank sodas. Sammy(our DP) got some fresh oranges while we waited. 15 min later a car rolled up & gave us a jump no cables in Dar. They just used a couple peices of steel they had & thier car battery. Also met this smooth kid in A billabong trucker hat. The day was long & we went to many other places & met so many kind people. A secretly shed a tear I was so happy..
