World’s largest salt flats (~11,000 sq km), Salar de Uyuni was on my Bolivia bucket list. It’s hard to describe the beauty of this desolate, dried up lake. Looks like snow. The exceptionally clear blue skies combined with white as far as you can see make for a brilliant backdrop to shoot a film.
Mi amigo de Los Angeles, Patrick, aka Pootee the Explorer is creating one short film in each of our 12 cities. So, Patrick, Jonathan and I set out to shoot in the salt flats.
I am one of the actors, although I don't have any speaking lines. In the film, we communicate through telepathy and voice overs will be added later. The script is still in production...very curious to see how it plays out. Knowing Patrick, it will be hilarious!
Jonathan, played the role of one of the rare 'Salt Flat People'. Kudos to este hombre for welcoming the body, face and hair paint! Poor guy had white on him the rest of the trip. He was able to take a shower at our hostel, but they yelled at him when he was taking too long. And, then I think he got a rash from the paint. Actin' ain't easy!
Salar de Uyuni. Lo que es un lugar perfecto para una película! (What a perfect place for a film!)
Stay tuned for said film...and more stories n snaps from the Salt Flats.
