Directing from a distance

I am arranging this shoot tomorrow, it is huge. I just found out all three characters are going to the lake star ritual and we have to film them all at 4.30  - 7. I have someone going to film these 20,000 followers of which Marlete, Genis and Lacerda will be participating.
I am talking to Brazilian camera shops, taxi drivers, the cameraman, the characters, Joao who is translating all my emails when the phones or my language skills die - god.
All in fractured and appalling Portuguese to cell phones with Skype. phwew.
Plus calling US production houses to understand how we work the NTSC camera as there is no PAL and besides everyone was in bed here as I was trying to work it all out.
It is a huge event and really shows the magnitude of the doctrine and the power and influence it has in their world. It is very exciting and I am nervous trying to set all this up from the UK!
It is a true kingdom. This picture was taken on May 1 2007.
