film and food update

I'm going to do the first shoot for my film tomorrow. I'm sort of nervous, but mostly just very happy. Tomorrow I'm going to start doing what I really came here to do. I am beginning my professional life with this film. I am relieved, excited, and so many other things that I can't categorize into words.

The film is about a group of Christian women who are pro-life activists and together run a non-profit abortion counselling center. I am pro-choice. They are pro-life. That's the challenge, and my reason for taking up this project. I am hoping to not only get some filming experience with this project, but also grow as a human being.

I think of myself as being very, very open-minded. The only thing that I reject is narrow-mindedness. I find it hard to have a conversation with some one who has a narrow view of life. I become aggressive and think of them as my ENEMY. I know there is a better way - and I hope I come out of this project knowing exactly what that is.

Okay, enough. I have to run now - my friend Brend's birthday celebration comes to an end tonight :( We're all going out for dinner in eight minutes.

Quick update. I found a Karachi-waali Aunty who made food for me (and charged money, of course). The food is home-made and better than I will ever get back home :)

I'm off now. Sweet dreams!
