World Premiere - Bangladesh
So its like the 10th day in Bangladesh and there have been more than 1 million people on the beach for the last few days because Ramadan had just finished and Tom Bauer looks at me and says' "What do you think about showing Walking On Water on the beach for everyone to see." So in only a few hours, we have rented a screen, projector, and speakers that all show up in a horse-drawn cart and we are showing the movie to around 500 people on the beach... in Bangladesh.
Keep in mind to that Bangladesh is a full Muslim nation... its was wild. Muslim guys in full garb showed up and watched the film. THey couldn't understand a word, but were enamored by the shots of beautiful waves from distant places... and Tyler's hair.
The surf club there sponsored the showing. They are the boys that we had been working with and were sooooo stoked to watch the film. Here are a few photos... What an amazing night. I couldn't believe the sound of more than 100 street kids hooting and hollering to the movie that were editing through the night only a year prior.
Next year we bring it back... translated in Bengali.
