I’m not exactly when it was, but a few weeks ago the phone rang. It was Ze Frank. It was cool that he called because, well, I think he’s pretty cool. The conversation ended up being about a small non-profit based in LA that is trying to make a difference in the lives of orphans at risk.
They need a video.
In five minutes I board a flight to Taipei and then on to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
I’m making them a video.
Life has been happening so fast lately — it turns out that I haven’t logged into my own blog in 2 months — so I’m simultaneously elated and terrified to be out of the office for a week with time to watch, photograph, reflect and hopefully write. What I’m hoping is that this is a chance for my spirit to take a deep breath. Spend time with children. Make beautiful media. Help, in some part, to make a difference for a group of people that are really making a difference.
So, for the next week I’ll be with the seemingly wonderful people at HOW, which thrills me. Although, what thrills me more than anything is a 13 hour flight with no phone, no internet, and nothing to do but sleep.
Boarding.
