Double R Productions’ Associate Producer Shoots Documentary in Ethiopia!

Associate Producer Megan Kimball traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as part of a production team with the National Community Church to help produce a documentary film exploring the efforts made by religious and government organizations to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic on Entoto Mountain. Entoto Mountain has become famous among Ethiopians as the source of a “holy water” which allegedly cures people infected with HIV/AIDS. The production team explored the culture on Entoto Mountain by comparing interviews with families who have moved off the mountain and are receiving anti-viral medications to those still living on the mountain. Kimball served as second camera and helped coordinate the shooting and interview schedule.

“Working in Ethiopia has given me a better understanding of the tools and resources you need, as a producer, to be successful working in another country. I really learned how to be flexible and think quickly when your shooting schedules change. You have to be ready for anything,” stated Kimball.
