Elemental Productions

I just wanted to keep everyone posted on my current escapades! I was recently given the opportunity to travel to Bali as a still photographer for Elemental Productions, a Los Angeles based production company founded by anthropologist, Robert Lemelson, Ph.D of UCLA. Dedicated to the production of ethnographic documentaries, Elemental Productions, focuses its films on "the relationship between culture, psychology, and personal experience in Indonesia and the United States"*. In September, I will be traveling with the crew to Ubud, Bali to document the final shooting stages of  "Bitter Honey", an ethnographic film documenting the lives of co-wives within three polygamous Balinese families. 

I am obviously extremely excited, seeing as this is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life! So, if you have any advice, suggestions or thoughts about my trip I would love to hear them!

Check out the trailer for the film below:

la lune et les étoiles

who is the moon without her starry eyed sky?

night after night they watch her inhale and exhale from full to new

but even when the sun demands a new day

and the moon's craters tease and play

you never see the stars turn away

let's contract the universe together.
