[I’d take] any excuse to get back to the area. There’s a type of light that I think you only really get in that part of the world, that made the early rises and late nights all worth it. Thankfully, we were shooting at beautiful locations, so it felt like I was always exploring the area. And the people. Working with a lot of locals, some of which were volunteering. The community mentality of the area was really inspiring.
