The act of communicating (and sometimes miscommunication) with the locals morphed from being a hurdle into the leading crux of my film. Challenged with the notion of “How not to make a film,” this film serves as a reminder to look closely at the world around me, that the graciousness, kindness and spirituality embedded in the people of Yucatan will always be a memory to me, of the possibility of human connection across languages and freedom in embracing the unknown.
