Hello Matthew - Just found out that you know my cousin Eileen and her husband Don (whom I have not met). Small world! Btw, I am in touch regularly with John Gowan re/Mendin -- feeding him script as it is written. Lord willing, the training compone...
Hey Ken, Your project, MENDINI, looks interesting! Do you know John Gowan? He lives and works in Guat. should you need a "man on the ground." He worked with HCJB in Ecuador for many years and moved to Guat. a few years ago. He worked on "End of th...
I commend you for building trust and putting relationships first in this project. As one who has filmed for many years in Latin America, I know first hand the importance of these priorities. Still looking forward to seeing the film. Ken Fast North...
Thanks Christopher for your kind comments but even more for your talent and perseverance in seeing this film become a reality!
What an awesome report. It is great to see the joy and pride on the actors faces in the photograph you've posted in this blog. When I see this it encourages me. I know there was disappointment that we were barred from filming in the real locations...

Belize International Film Festival report
“Thanks for keeping your promise and bringing us a copy of the film.” Several times during my trip to Belize I heard words to this effect coming from our Kekchi actors. Over the past couple of centuries the Maya/Kekchi people have been lied to, deceived and coerced by outsiders. Many expressed deep gratitude for receiving a copy of the film, knowing they could show off their hard work to their family and grandchildren for years to come.… Continue

- Hello Matthew - Thanks for the note... yes, I know John Gowan. Spent a week with him in June at the Viña Studios film conference, and enjoyed our lengthy discussions. I've proposed to them that Viña co-produce this story. I'm moving into a development phase (money!) right now, plus trying to find precious time to work more on the script. The project will be preceded by a year of additional training which John would be involved in.

- I love the profile shot - the title of the shot should be "producer deep in thought, after the storm!" You did a great job in Belize Matthew... I enjoyed working with you.

Wow, that is an awesome story. I will say a prayer for Carlos whenever I remember him. It's awesome to know that God does not give up on us. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi Chris -- I recall using 35mm (for still cameras) back in the Ecuadorian amazon (1966-67). Not only was our film kept in ammo boxes with silica gel, but also our Leicas. Leave them out for a few weeks and fungus would start to grow in the lenses...
Ken: Shooting in a tropical climate can be challenging on equipment. Anything that we had trouble with concerning the cameras was modern electronics, video assist, batteries etc. The Enemy God motion picture was shot on Super 16mm and 35 mm motion...
