This is another movie, or rather slideshow of some of the places located in Freeport, West Papua. They range from the highlands where the mine is located down to the lowlands where Timika is. For those still working there, this was shot during 2003 - 2004. For those who have left, this is a trip down memory lane.

In my previous post I introduced Vegemite the Movie. The link pointed to part one, or actually the prequel to main event. This movie shot at 10,000 feet using one take without script was a piece of wonderful foolishness that I am so glad we created.

I now present "Makan with Dan and Mark" or "Dining with Dan and Mark" - also shot entirely on location in Papua West.

 About six or seven years ago when I worked in Freeport, a mine in West Papua, a few of us wanted to make a movie that highlighted the impressive scenery in this region. We mulled over the topic of this movie for a period of time before deciding on making it an educational cooking film with a twist. We were going to teach people how to make a vegemite sandwich.

Our point of difference was that we would make this vegemite sandwich at 10000 feet above sea level on the side of a mountain range that rises to over 15,000 feet, twice the height of Australia's tallest mountain.
