We helped raise half a million dollars for an organization providing fresh water in remote places. Sometimes you get a lifetime opportunitiy to make a difference. In the fall of 2016 the company I had co-founded was hired to fly to west Africa and capture footage and interviews in order to raise funds for a non-profit. The subject was who, having been educated in the US returned to his country to bring clean water to villages that had no access. We were in awe of the process as we travelled hours and hours from one remote location to another, capturing footage on location, and assembling dailies every night. We were privilaged to travel with a man who was known well enough by reputation to be accepted in places where few outsiders are allowed entry. Every time we visited a new place we would bring a gift to lay at the foot of the local king or village leader. By the time we finished we had teased out the thread of a story, and were ready to put everything together for a giant fundraising event to be held stateside.
