It is I, the absent-minded blogger returned from too much work and too little time to blog. You know, kids and animals... what are ya gonna do? They just take a lot of time to shoot! Lucky for us and for you, it is well worth the wait!
In this week’s episode, you will see a couple of things you have never seen before. (Operation on a vervet monkey anyone?) But my favorite scene is the last one. A wild party in a South African township that I know will be breathtakingly beautiful. When we were shooting the scene, we used a big crane for some overhead shots, and from what I was able to see on the video monitors, it looked more like a high-budget feature film than our humble little show. Made me proud. But then again, it’s hard not to be proud of this show.
Speaking of proud, let me take this moment to thank all of you who tuned in last week to give us our best ratings to date! I hope you enjoyed the show enough to tell your friends. Word of mouth is the best friend any new show has and that is particularly true when you are a new show on a new network so please tell your friends. There is a place you can go every Sunday night that is different and beautiful and interesting.
It would mean a lot to all of us here in South Africa. We are doing the best to bring you stories that you can care about.
Now on to the show. The premise of this week's episode revolves around the different ways our family responds to a national holiday in South Africa. It’s one that was revered by the now-deceased mother of Katie and Chase and it means something different to almost everyone in the show. It is a wonderful way to get a little piece of African history and to get a little more insight into our blended family.
I hope you enjoy this week's episode and I will be more "on it" in terms of keeping you up-to-date with our shoot.
All the best from the Northwest Province of South Africa,
D.W. Moffett
