What did you film on 12.12.12?: Emotions are what makes us intelligent beings, are foundations of knowledge and communication and can defy the limitations of the vast cultural and linguistic challenges of our evolving societies.

Strong and powerful. Emotions have driven modern man to build, destroy, isolate and connect. I believe that in examining the experience of emotions in contexts that of which are foreign and uncomfortable to our individual understandings we move closer to a more empathetic and unified world.

These women are the life blood of our rural communities here, some are supporting as many as 12 or 15 grandchildren.

I was wondering how the project went and if you had any luck finding collaborations in that regard. Congratulations on the idea! Cheers, Manuela
