Incredibly grateful that last December we were able to shoot part of our film, The Long Walk of Carlos Guerrero in the Arizona borderlands. Cannot thank enough the wonderful actors and the SMALL crew who took the leap of faith to be part of this journey. Psyched to get back and shoot the rest of the film in May. @jon_delatorre_ @jocelynsanchezofficial @rogelio_camarillo_jr @_kylevin @kristenspinning @nolanvene @merritt_plz @randi_todd_mua @nolanvene @gysellecuevas @grant.ppt #filmtucson #indiefilm (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNH26lfhmms/?igshid=zy8d56sfz867

This pandemic has brought to a halt the work of many filmmakers. Some were in production and others have had their distribution plans ruined. But compared to the life and death situations many people are facing today, these are only setbacks. I’ve been spending time in Sonora, Mexico working on a documentary on how U.S. border militarization is choking off the ties of the Tohono O’odham with the rest of their tribe on the U.S. side of the border. (It used to be one community before the border broke up their lands in two.) It’s a portrait of a small community under siege as various forces threaten their survival. I harbor faith that I can go back and continue working on this project. I owe it to the Tohono O’odham in Mexico who opened their doors to me and trusted me to tell their story. I desperately hope to see them again soon. #documentary #filmonhold #indiefilm #documentaryfilm #tohonooodham #border #borderlands @nymediacenter @ifpfilm @idaorg @itvsindies @sundanceorg (at Sonora, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r78klJVax/?igshid=1etfskjaal54d

When I first read Arundhati Roy’s book The God of All Things, I was blown away by the authenticity and verve with which she captured Kerala, the land and the people. On a trip earlier this year, I walked around and took some pictures. It was just after the big monsoon rains. “ By early June the south-west monsoon breaks and there are three months of wind and water with short spells of sharp, glittering sunshine that thrilled children snatch to play with. The countryside turns an immodest green. Boundaries blur as tapioca fences take root and bloom. Brick walls turn mossgreen. Pepper vines sneak up electric poles. Wild creepers burst through laterite banks and spill across the flooded roads. Boats ply in the bazaars. And small fish appear in the puddles that fill the PWD potholes on the highways.” https://www.instagram.com/p/B54NGmLpAa2/?igshid=xwb547rvpz77
