Thanksgiving in Asia

These are the images of yesteryear's Thanksgiving celebration with coworkers and fellow filmmakers at Bigfoot Entertainment on Mactan Island, Philippines. I must say, turkey has never tasted quite this good! Up above (L-R) Lori, Keith, Katie and Daphne.

Lori and Daphne have some silly wide angle fun!

Katie and Mark pose with Jenni Trang, the 1st AD for Tears from Afar.

Gaffer Brad Draper, Daphne, Mauren, and Nick group hug for the camera.

I'm thankful for...

NACHOS!!! And all the great things that go with it - family, friends, love, music, joy, fun. I'm not with family this Thanksgiving, but I will have the pleasure tonight of having a huge thanksgiving gathering with 50 of my fellow workmates. There won't be any Nachos, but there will be turkey. I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I'm into the tryptophan. Time for a nap. Speaking my friend Mel yesterday (who's still living in Viet Nam) she told me a turkey in Vietnamese translates back into English as "Western Chicken." I'm sure a few locals have called me that over the course of the past year :-)
Enjoy the photos, it's a glimpse into my humble apartment on Mactan Island, Philippines.
