Updates
==
I'm ready to go to Kyrgyzstan, even if I don't feel ready. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen once I hit landfall, but that's okay.

In Kyrgyzstan, I'll be shooting a documentary about the broken families and bride-kidnapping. I'll also document Mercy Foundation's response to the need of the area. Hopefully, I can capture some cultural stuff too.

The point of contact that I had been communicating with is back in the states for surgery. I don't know who I'll be working with there, but it'll be a lot of teaching and learning.

Shooting shouldn't be difficult, it's coming back and sorting through hours and hours of footage in a language I don't know. It's going to make editing a pain.

Even if I feel like I lack the skills and the readiness, I know it's not about me. I have the camera work experience and the editing experience to carry me. It's just a matter of mustering all those things up. In the end, the project is in God's hands, and I can't forget that.

See y'all on the 22nd.
