Day 1 - Los Angeles to London

As I stood in front of Doheny Library and shot the very first takes of No Lands Too Foreign, I began to realize the scope of the journey we had decided to embark upon. 28,000 Miles from start to finish and attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Oh, is that all? How very small my perception of the world really was. Having never left the United States before other than to Mexico a month ago, all of the advice and ideas my friends had for me began to rush through my mind. "The trip of a lifetime" some called it. The words didn't really mean anything until we stepped off plane yesterday in London and I looked over to Zach to only say, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..." This is only the beginning of a journey that I do not know where will end nor what I will discover in that time. If my mind is blown already after a day in a country that speaks english and the culture relatively similar to my own, I wonder what else lay in path ahead of us...

For my filmmaker friends, I do also intend to have technical posts which will include how I shot the documentary and with what equipment we brought with us.
