Getting ready for our first day of shooting tomorrow and it\u2019s going to be ROUGH.\u00a0 What a way to start off a 20 day shoot, and travel schedule with a 15 hour day our very first day! Welcome to showbiz right? As I\u2019m well aware this is not a very glamorous business 99% of the time. Actually, you could say the same thing about traveling.\u00a0 It’s a lot of grunt work and grit along with moments of pure joy and enlightenment that sustain you, and make it all worthwhile tenfold.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be lying if I said I don\u2019t have some mixed emotions about being in front of the camera after all these years behind the camera.\u00a0 It\u2019s got to be authentic or I just won\u2019t be able to do it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a pretty confident guy, but just to be safe, I\u2019m really hoping that by shooting this a bit documentary style, I\u2019ll get over the self consciousness of having cameras follow me around after a couple of \u00a0hours.<\/p>\n

The love of travel and the creative process of producing will keep me going. Of course, the real challenge won\u2019t be until edit when I\u2019m forced to look and critique myself over and over and over. Ouch! I sure like critiquing other people\u2019s work better, ha, ha!<\/p>\n

But I’m excited to get started.\u00a0 Colombia is a great country and most travelers in the U.S. at least aren’t aware of all it has to offer these days so we are really excited to bring this information to people.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, bright and early, we\u2019re shooting with Laura from Medellin\u2019s Dept. of Tourism\u2026she\u2019s done a great job of putting together a jam packed agenda for us. \u00a0After that, it\u2019s rehearsal with local punk band Los Suziox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And we end the evening at the wee hours of the next morning, partaking in some legendary Medellin nightlife. As I said, I’m super excited and I\u2019ll rally, but tomorrow is going to be exhausting. I better get off here and get some sleep tonight\u2026for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
