The Ills

What started off as a collection of footage of friends talking became - on the trans-continental flight over here - a little love letter to deutschland written just in time to hit the ground in the US.

It's been a year. A long year, an intense year, a crazy hectic year filled with precious moments like these....wait, did I just write 'precious moments'? OMG. Let's back it up for a second. I'll say it like this: every time it got hard, something else cracked it open, and most of the time it was one of you, telling me something, gesturing beautifully. Or cooking a swahili breakfast or explaining why the people of austria are mystical or making friends with the locals or pretending to wake up early and go to the nightclub instead of staying up all night.

The ills of the world, they can get you down, but then you get back up.
