Kenya: Day 19

Pray for:
- That we'd be able to get the Filamujuani documentary done
- that Risiki's finishing her movie will encourage the others in the class to step up

What happened:
- worked on my screenplay
- chatted w/ M
- went to Kibra Academy. Risiki surprised me with all her pre-production done. so i told her that she would be the first to start production.
- went home

It was really exciting to see the kids engaged in production. Not before too long, Risiki had a small crowd forming around the "sets" to watch what was going on.

She had drawn a whole bunch of storyboards, but when we started shooting, she maybe only used 5.

As we approached the end of the day, she wanted 1 more shot. When she got it, I asked her if she needed Monday to keep shooting, but she said she was done. It'll be interesting to see it come together in the edit.

Hopefully, I'll be able to take the finished movie and toss it up on youtube for everyone.

On a side note. Ken and I weren't able to start the Filamujuani documentary. Hopefully, we'll be able to make up the time tomorrow or Saturday.
