The psychology of filming cows
Channel: The Hands that Feed Us
Date: 08/10/2020

I spent most of this week isolating in a tent — I came down with a mild fever and the sniffles last Sunday, which meant an immediate halt to filming while I got a COVID-19 test.  I'm fine — it was a false alarm — but it meant I had lots of time to perfect the art of tent living in the rapidly cooling Alberta fall.

Once I escaped isolation, I was back at work:  For the first time since I arrived, Susan let me collect eggs!



The next morning , I got up for sunrise, and gained some insight into what it takes to film cattle...



The Hands that Feed Us is a documentary I'm making about how COVID-19 is affecting farmers, and why it's so difficult for farmers to make a living.  While I make it, I'm also working on the farms where I'm staying, and this channel is where I share the things I learn from actually *doing* farming — as opposed to just filming it.
