hard living

I spent most of the morning today sitting out by the enormous 8-shaped pool, reading an awesome book. So far this job is pretty sweet. Tomorrow was to be the first shooting day, but it looks like things will be postponed, at least another day. For two days now, both of the cameras for the film have been locked up in Egyptian customs. It's a huge ordeal now, verging on national incident, as the Russian government is attempting to intervene. Pretty fun stuff.

This afternoon we Americans watched a 45-minute instructional video on giving vaccines in the field. In a week or so, we will be shooting a big medical-tent-vaccinating-kids scene, so we're studying up. The director has informed us that he's procured a huge amount of Egyptian five-year olds to be our co-stars in the scene. It sounds like that day is gonna be a ball.

Our first day of shooting will involve being in a jeep attacked by locusts and rescuing a goat from a bog. I think I'm gonna have fun with this!

Just a couple of preliminary pictures are up on my facebook page. Go here to see them: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7563&l=6e713&id=514867448
