The Making of...


This entry is a little tribute to Kena, as none of this would have been possible without her (pictured here with Teresita). She was the one that took us in her recruitment trip through the Mayan communities. I like this picture because it shows well the dynamics of our meetings.

Today Mario and I met with Daniel, one of the members of the Production Team at Xcaret, to go over the concept of the exhibition and site the proposed areas to display our work.

Mario took the lead and wrote our project. It's a cool one. I'd miss the production side of an exhibition, when the concept takes shape little by little and you start picturing the photographs hanging on the walls...

Of the three proposed spaces, we particularly liked one of them (the hacienda), and I hope we get it. The pictures will look so great in there.

Now we've the weekend to adapt our initial project to the space we want, to make a rough cut of the video materials and to select some of the pictures that we want to display. We'll be meeting them again next week and we want to have a great dossier to show.

BTW the icing of the cake is that we may even have our documentaries and pictures projected on the giant film screen that they will build for the occasion.
