FACE THE FLAG

Tonight I bid my farewell to Upington along with the GK shoot. Its amazing how quickly my time here has passed. Tomorrow I'll fly into Jo'burg pick up Dave and head out on our third world road trip into Mozambique. Originally my plan was to spend the entirety of this trip with the production... 2 weeks of night shoots, the middle of nowhere in northern South Africa, a baboon being the most exotic animal I've seen, its time to see what else Africa has to throw at me. The rough plan is to drive up the coast into Mozambique as far north as time permits then head west into Kruger and back into SA. The Mozambique Flag... Should be interesting.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

I have seen the sun for about 8 hours total over the last 8 days... I have today off so hopefully I will get a few photos that aren't from set and night.

ARE MY EYES BLEEDING

NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME

AT THE DARK END OF THE STREET

6 days of nights shoots and 1 day off... The nightlife in Upington consists of the bar in the lobby, some drunk marines, some drunk actors playing marines and a sober PJ getting accustomed to what life might be like for him in prison. T.I.A.

GENERATION KILL

So I came here to shadow Simon the director of GK and end up becoming a Marine... I play Cpl Simon who in Iraq was actually in Eric's Humvee. The real Eric Kocher drove me to set and then the actor playing him sat next to me in a humvee till 7 in the morning.

TOWNSHIP

In South Africa, the term township usually refers to the (often underdeveloped) urban residential areas that, under Apartheid, were reserved for non-whites (principally black Africans and Coloureds, but also working class Indians. Townships were usually built on the periphery of towns and cities.

During the Apartheid Era blacks were evicted from properties that were in areas designated as "white only" and forced to move into townships. Legislation that enabled the Apartheid government to do this included the Group Areas Act. Forced removal from city centres to townships has continued in post-apartheid South Africa. The difference is that under apartheid all black people faced forced removals to townships while now it is only the poor living in shack settlements that face eviction to townships on the peripheries of cities. In Cape Town and Durban this has given rise to mass resistance.[1]
