What did you film on 12.12.12?
My plan has changes due to last minute cancelations - now my new subject will hopefully be a short expose of the life of a young Q'eqchi' man living in northern Guatemala. Q'eqchi' is one of 21 ancient languages still remaining from the time of the Mayan Empire. The man's name is Fernando Choc or "Chico" Choc as he is known to his friends. He is the only individual in his entire community who has received modern education. I hope to spend some time with him this day to document a typical day in his life.

    I will have transportation. i'll be going to the trash city in zone 3 and I will be filming a tortilleria somewhere around. I will also be shooting in a nice rich area, to show the difference. Just a couple of the things I have in mind. Will you be here on the 12th for the march?
    Feel free to shoot me an email so we can talk more!

    what a small world!!! The people that I've been working with apparently know you. Pablo Rojas and Ingrid. Are you going to be in the city in the next few days? I'm leaving Sunday and it would be nice to meet you.
