I finally convinced myself to visit el medico yesterday and was diagnosed with an advanced sinus infection which,sorry if this is too much info for some, unfortunately has included its fare share of bloody noses which can be quite painful up a few thousand feet in the mountains. But I´m stocked up on meds and tissues now and feel better just knowing what it is. Editing continues in all its glory and pain. We´ve been trying to split up our days - a few hours editing, a few hours at the market or exlporing parts of the city the other girls want to see before we wrap things up next week and they head back up North. It is a grueling process to go through days worth of footage and synthesize it into a 20 mintue doc using the best of our material if we can. Though yesterday our profesor Ismael, former rockstar, current tai chi master, former exile, current filmmaker, told us that we sometimes have to kill our darlings, cut our favorite clips from the movie for clarity or continuity. Killing your darlings feels just about as awful as it sounds. Below I´ve included a little clip that actually is making the movie. I tried to upload a little preview of some footage but my goodness it is just to glitchy at this internet cafe. I´ll look forward to sharing more pictures and videos in mid August.
