David, Mush and me are back from the village situated right on the borders of Armenia and Turkey, where we are working on our new film called Neighbors.
This was our third and longest trip to there; although it is really tough to shoot on the borders, especially when it is a film, not a news video report, we managed to film lots of interesting and exciting things and got to know our main characters much better.
As about the trip itself; it was cold, rained day and night, mud everywhere, and no drinking water at all. Oh yes, concerning the water; the dam up in Gyumri cracked when we were filming, and the whole village was warned to be ready to run like hell if the dam bursts, as the water will wash away the whole village (and most of the other located areas around, actually). We stopped complaining about lack of water when we heard that.
But the trip was great, as all our trips are. We’ll visit the village one more time early in May.
Meanwhile, we are back to Yerevan now to drink some water, wash away the mud and to work on 40 00 N, 45 00 E, which we hope to release in summer.
Here are some photos from the trip. Sorry for the quality, they all are shot by cell phone, as we forgot the photo camera. As always...
