la liste: everything or nothing

This trip is a hard one to talk about.

I picked up a cold when I got to Skardu, and was unable to kick it before heading up the glacier. The cold festered and became a sinus infection, which inevitably crippled me for the entire shoot.

I felt like absolute garbage and felt even worse because I didn’t think I could do my job. I did what I could to get conversations, and move the story along, but in the back of my mind, I was a failure.

Most of the projects I work on, I look back on fondly. This trip however is one that I have pushed from my mind. Not that the film is bad by any means, it just took so much from me mentally that it left some lasting trauma.
