After many delays, we finally finished the majority of our filming! This film has been a major project for us for over two months – from interviewing potential volunteers to the actually filming today, it’s been quite a journey for all of us here in Vancouver. We were lucky enough to receive help from a professional camera man and from the unedited film we saw today, we are quite impressed by the quality.

Bad news:

During the four hours of filming, we were constantly distracted by noise from a duct cleaning service to the sudden appearance of a “got-junk” truck hoisting some woman’s trash in and out of the premises.

I realized I sound absolutely horrific on camera. My voice sounds…whiny? It does not pair well with advocating for minority rights.

Good news:

The camera liked Fakhteh so much that it made her look a decade younger.

🙂

We were able to finish filming one video for each of the two guys (Vahid and Yashar) that work for ADAPP and one video for Fakhteh. That’s 3 videos in one day!

Here are a couple of pictures from filming Fakhteh.

Onwards to editing…

Stay tuned for the finished product!
