TANZANITE

CLIENT: PERSONAL PROJECT

FOCUS: RESILIENCE, DISCOVERY, HUMAN SPIRIT

ABOUT:
A FILM CAPTURED IN MERERANI, TANZANIA, AMONG THE MINERS OF THE TANZANITE HILLS. THEIR HOPE AND DETERMINATION IN THE FACE OF HARSH CONDITIONS REVEALED A STRENGTH THAT WAS BOTH HUMBLING AND INSPIRING.

HIGHLIGHT:
AFTER A HEART RACING MOTORBIKE JOURNEY THROUGH SAND AND ROCK, SPENDING TIME WITH THE MINERS BROUGHT AN UNFORGETTABLE SENSE OF CONNECTION. THEIR WORK IN THE DUSTY DEPTHS OF KILIMANJARO’S EARTH FELT LIKE A SEARCH FOR SOMETHING TIMELESS AND SACRED.

REFLECTION:
WE ARE ALL MINING FOR SOMETHING PRECIOUS, SOMETHING THAT ENDURES. THIS EXPERIENCE REMINDED ME THAT THE JOURNEY TO FIND IT, THOUGH DIFFICULT, IS WHERE THE TRUE TREASURE LIES.
