Parkhurst) shares some of his stories and lessons from his most recent trip filming in Cambodia, working on he and his wife, Steph's, current documentary, http://www.elvisofcambodia.com (Elvis of Cambodia). In Part Four, Chris ventures out into the provinces for his first bit of filming since returning to Cambodia. And it's the Chinese New Year. And he's taking friend/colleague, Patrick Firouzian out to film with him. Only, they need to find some way to get to their subject's hometown, which is not easy since most modes of transportation are shut down during the New Year celebrations. And then once there, they'll need to stay sober enough to complete the day's filming!   Related Videos From the Set of Elvis of Cambodia Filming Seng Dara in his hometown of Chumnik village, Takeo province   Friend, additional photographer, and film collaborator, Patrick Firouzian, takes a break during the filming.   #Doclifer StoriesWhere we share our listeners https://thedocumentarylife.com/blog/doclifer-stories-erin-mcgoff/ (#doclives and filmmaking stories). This week, we visit with doc filmmaker and founder of https://www.facebook.com/pg/thecharlottefilmschool/posts/ (The Charlotte Unconventional Film School), Julie McElmurry, who shares with us her experiences working on her documentary series about nuns.   Sponsors & Thank Youshttp://musicvine.com/ ()Thank you to music licensing platform, https://musicvine.com/ (Music Vine) for their fresh and diverse music and for contributing the wonderful music that we've used in this week's episode.
