Eritrean Film Opportunity

So one day into my time here in Eritrea and the women here at NUEW have given me a wonderful project, right up my alley- they want me to help produce a film documenting the organization's 25th anniversary ceremony. I will have access to footage taken by some professional cameramen (however, I intend to also take some footage) and we will later arrange for the film to be edited in a professional studio. I will be in charge of directing the overall production of the film, writing the script, and doing the English narration for the film. I am very excited about the project as it will coincide nicely with the documentary film project I have been writing several grant proposals for, as I am hoping to make a film about the situation of women and refugees in the Horn of Africa, during my time here in Africa. In the meantime this weekend I may get an opportunity to visit a couple of NUEW's women centres outside Asmara- as they also celebrate NUEW's 25th aniversary.
