I got to spend the past weekend down in Querétaro, Mexico, shooting a mini-documentary. This was my first "international filmmaking" experience, and it was a dream come true, something I've wanted to do for a long time.
Golden hour just seems to last forever down there south of the border, and I got some shots I really like.
I was shooting for a Utah-based non-profit group called Cosecha, that leads expeditions to Mexico and partners with other NGO's to build aquaponic greenhouses for rural Mexican villages.
The people down there really poured their hearts out to us — I spent two nights on a couch in one of the villager's homes. These people don't have a lot, but they freely gave everything they could to us, cooking delicious food, offering up their homes, it was a fantastic experience, and one I won't soon forget.
The film can be seen here, if anyone is curious how it turned out: https://vimeo.com/801657796
