Heading back up North

Today is March 31st, April 5th I head back to Attawapiskat!

I'm frantically trying to think of every contingency, pack all the equipment we'll need, food for 5 for 6 days, my clothes, sleeping bag, air mattress, coffee maker, lists, lists, lists, paperwork, cameras.....

we are still frantically searching for funding assistance, as this trip up is costing $7000+ out of our pockets. As with everything else, every time I turn around, I need another piece of equipment, something costs more than the original quote, things we thought were free or included in the price aren't....

Come on people, only Hollywood has huge budgets! Canadian film-makers are dead broke!
