This is another sneak-peek into the making of the “No Life Without Water” film, an international collaboration between the Early Stage School in Poland, the CMCA ArtLab in Maine, The Primary school in Bor Pakwau, Jonglei State, South Sudan, and me, here in This PhotoPlay-filled Playground.

We spent hours sorting through dozens and dozens of completed PhotoPlay pages,

After all of the work is photographed (including the work made by the kids here in the CMCA ArtLab), we’ll begin to edit both the video and the soundtrack.
