I'm sitting here in the hotel lobby as the film crew is going through their gear. I'm not sure if I made it clear enough in my last post that this is why I'm here -- I'm here with a team of 7 media artists who are creating a film called MIDWAY. It will tell the story of Midway Atoll and outline the harsh reality of plastic pollution. I am so lucky to be here and I'm already learning so much. It's been a little hard to understand their jargon about cameras and film because I'm no professional but I love every second of it.
Our flight leaves for Midway Island at 6pm tonight and I can't wait! We have to fly in at night because there is too many birds in the sky during this season to fly in at any other time of the day. I can't wait to see the sunset from the little jet we're taking!
The team that I'm here with is incredible. They're all so professional and good at what they do but they're unbelievably humble and so genuine. Everyone is amazing and I can't wait to spend the next 2 weeks on this little island learning from them and observing their work.
Expect more posts soon :)
