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.

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!

Bend Over

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.
