BATAK – PILGRIMAGE TO ANCESTOR’S LAND
This is the first feature length documentary made by Putra in 2012 and I was fortunate enough to join him for a few weeks of his trip during filming, and must say it was one of the most amazing cultural experiences I have ever had, while searching for the origin of the first Batak people. We met so many new friends and attended some cultural events I never knew existed so it was an eye opener and filled me with so much happiness as we journeyed around North Sumatra.
I hope you enjoy the film as much as Putra enjoyed making it.

There was a call for short video entries for the Dominica Challenge – a selection of 6 teams of 2 people to travel to the island of Dominica for a week and make a story about their adventures. It sounded like the trip of a lifetime! We put together a short video the day before the entry deadline.. we didn’t make the cut, but we had fun in the process!
