<aside> <img src="/icons/bell-notification_gray.svg" alt="/icons/bell-notification_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Because the budget was so low (~ 1000 USD), we didn't have a behind-the-scenes photographer. So I asked my Producer and Production Assistant guys if they had free time to take some photos while the film was shooting by their smartphone. Sorry guys if the image’s resolution aren’t good.

We had to wade across rivers and climb mountains to shoot. And with such a low budget, we chose to shoot completely exterior scene (80% of total) with natural light, no lighting.
I love her - my Production Designer a.k.a girl friend (but ex💔). Thank for having you in my project.
My DoP was checking the frame.
We have 2 DoPs - they’re a couple. Happy when having them in the project.
My Assistant Director was checking the micro before actress starting.
I’m in the process of talking to the actress about the character’s psychology.
My actor is waiting for his turn. We shoot a single shot in a conversation without any interaction between his co-star, so the actor has to imagine there is a co-star in front of him (and of course that co-star is me 🙂).
My actress ❤️🔥
My cute Assistant Camera (Left) and kind Sound Operator (Right).
Instead of having bedroom but I want to sleep outside to have the feeling like character.
After a long day of shooting, my 2 DoPs and Gaffer fell asleep next to the set just 5 minutes after we finished last scene of that day.
The same with Quynh - my lovely Assitant Director. I’m sorry 😢
This is not all the crew members because some of them left (to Ho Chi Minh City) an hour before this photo was taken. Thank you everyone for supporting me and trying through many challenges. See you in the next project.
