Palestine

Palestine 🇵🇸 was a challenge as well since my interviewee is Palestinian and was born and raised in Qatar 🇶🇦. So I asked him to talk about both. Anas felt comfortable enough since this is not the first time that he has taken part in my filming projects. This time the lighting was different since Afarin did not bring the LED light so we used two desk lamps. We tried to place the lamps in order for Anas to look in the right way, I am not sure if we did.

Anas' stuff was placed on the desk, which was his scenery so we could make it more personal, learning from previous experiences that we lived with Colombia, Jordan and Hong Kong. We talked about anything that could come up to our minds about these two countries, and it was not hard for Anas since he has shared this information with me before many times. We took small brakes in the middle since filming is fun but it takes time, so we have fun brakes from the fun. That is one of the reasons I decided to create Real Reality 2020, share something that more people should see and share.

Afarin took a close-up of his hands while he was explaining some Arab traditional food. I was in front of him with the tripod.

Tomorrow we are going to finish filming with Iran and Mexico and hopefully we will have enough time to make a rough cut for next week. We have to do it tomorrow since I might travel back home earlier than expected. Hopefully everything will be alright. I will no stress about it.
