The universe is working against us.

Okay, I get it! Someone really doesn't want us to show this Zombie movie. We've been sick, the actors got sick, the weather has been keeping us from shooting, we got sick AGAIN, the tape went missing, the bus crashed and is such a mess so we can't transport our equipment so we can't screen today!

MYSA event

Football is a very important part of MYSA.

1st of december allready oh my god eey mungu whaaat???

Only 10 days until we leave now. Oh shiiit! The time is going so fast!

It has been a really nice experience to be here. I have to come back sometime soon to say hello to the family. To see Simran walk. Teach her how to say "Hestkuk". Meet our friends again...

But for now, I am really looking forward to go home and celebrate christmas! I hear it is a lot of snow and minus degrees at home. NICE!

Sigri loves fried corn.

Yum yum!

Really good spice, have no idea what it is but it's sooo tasty!

Last shoot

Peter, Sigri and me have been working on a Zombie-movie of our own, but it has been a lot of delay with this project because of sickness (not only us, but also the actors), bad weather (rainy season is a really inconvenient period to shoot outdoors), delay on the other workshopgroups' shooting etc.

But yesterday we FINALLY shot the last scene - hallelujah!

Working on the scene with Victoria and the Zombie. Our main actress got sick, but beautiful Irene from shootback stepped in for her. She is awesome!

the Zombie (getting really tired)

Peter is the cameraman, really concentrated!

Shooting zombie sex scene!

Freddy helped us out!

The shooting was really stressful, because our main actor was really late and had to leave quite early. When we were shooting he was also very unpatient, and it was really frustrating for me. But we managed to shoot all our shots, so now it's just editing left. We were supposed to edit to day but we the electricity has been on and off all day ao we have to extend the editing...

Malaria & Thyfoid

After being sick for a week I decided to go to the hospital. Sigri went last thursday and found out that she has malaria and thyfoid. I was optimistic and thought I was getting better, but I wasn't. So yesterday I saw the doctor and he told me I had just the same as Sigri! weird that we got the same deceases at the same time...

Now I have taken about a million different tablettes, and I feel much better! :)

no concert afterall

We cancelled the concert because there was some riot there. Our friend was unfortanetly gone to the concert area before us and was there when the riot started. He was arrested by the police and had to spend half of the night in a cell, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Poor guy. Luckily for us, we were slow as always and heard about what happened and chose not to go there anyway.

Concert and graduation

Today we are going to a friend of ours graduation party and later we are going to this reggae festival (I think!). I'm really exited!

new workshop group

We are finished with the Shootback 1 group now. The workshops was very nice and I think they learned a lot. I know for sure that they have experienced the importance of good planning! Now they are working on their own and beginning a new film project. I think they will make a fiction movie to screen every third week. That's great! Maybe they make some really good movies and can send them to TIFF or NUFF!

We have a new group in a place called Maili Saba three times a week. They are a bit older than the first group, but has absolutely no experiece with film whatsoever. Most of them haven't even touched a camera before. It's a bit challenging to start totally from scratch, but fortunately they are very eager to learn. They are finishing their scripts now and will shoot their film on wednesday.

Next week will be so stressful! We have workshop Monday, wednesday, friday and sunday. The kids are shooting on wednesday and they need a lot of help with planning and preparations. We also have our own film project that we are shooting next week, so it will be no time to relax...

This is Halloween!

So what if nobody else celebrate Halloween in Kenya. That doesn't stop us from doing it! We had the best halloween ever, outside in the backyard with candles, beer, chocolate and, offcourse, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

We even carved a pumpkin, and I found this strange carrot monster together with the other carrots some days before Halloween. We named him Janosch!

Sigri is a Hulder.

I am a witch!

Magic!

MOMBASA!

We took some days off and went to Mombasa. We stayed with a woman called Sony and her incredible cool 5-yearold daughter, Talia.

Sony

Talia.

The bus trip to Mombasa took 7 hours and during that trip the woman in the front seat threw up on me. We didn't take the bus above, I wish we did, I think the trip would have been much more pleasant.

We had one day on the beach. That was so nice. Here is Sigri after a chill day by the sea.

This is Robert. He followed us to the beach.

Camel.

Music that people in Kenya listen to ALL THE TIME!

Night Shift

One more night

Muslim Henna Paint

This is some weeks ago, we visited a lady who paints muslim girls. We wanted to try, so we went to her house and we got one hand painted like this. It looks nice, but I guess I could easily have painted it myself with pen.

hahaha !

Janosch is a girl

Yesterday, at 05 am, Janosch arrived our planet. After 18 hours of pain and struggeling, Nash gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl ever. Her name will be Simran (I think, not sure wheter it's decided or not yet). Here she is, 8 hours old:

MTOTO on the way!

Little Janosch (as we all have started to call him/her) is on the way. As I write, Nash is in the hospital. Her water has broken, so now we are just waiting for Janosch to be born. Can't wait to babysit =)

Tribe people

In Kenya there is more than 52 different tribes, with their own language and culture. It is really confusing.
