7/4/07 Dar es Salaam, Africa


Tanzanian dust gives me boogers..However the good out weighs the bad here in Dar. Sam & Jason(our DP & AC/Stunt Coordinator) built or had built a makeshift crane. Musa the owner of Sofia Production hooked us up with parts & welding. The welders with much Tanzanian ingenuety put all the steel & tubing together to make a nice base for the crane, a sort of tripod. It took 4 long hours.
Later we ate @ subway for lunch at a mall in Dar. Where they had a mac store. We didnt eat again for another 10 hours, which generally pissed everyone off. Jason went into silent salty mode an almost catatonic state. I did my venting about expenses & moneys owed to me. Our Director/producer gave Sam the money owed him totally left me & Jason hanging. Discontentment & saltyness abounds the AD Chris is more of a burden than a help all agree. Has no clue waht an AD's duty's are. The Crew is pissed.
