A long and winding road it was… and finally we began: what a first week of shooting here. Let’s go! I even got a new (Tunesian phonetic) name and @_.Wallis.wood dropped it’s first release meanwhile in Amsterdam.

Every step is another milestone, classic & AAA film location. For more than half a century and still counting… Amazing how much there is to scout and find here in beautiful Tunesia.

Oh the road again…. our next - and final prior to shoot - technical Recce in and around Gafsa, Tunesia. Amazing how much variety, landscapes, people and life in general to see and encounter on these trips. And each km to be powered & inspired by all that a great team can bring to the table 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🎥. #filming #scouting #nofilter #tunesia #setlife
Sometimes, locations just speak for themselves. No words or context needed…

First steps in a new country & project. Accompanied by this dear, old & worn #assistantdirectors jacket we’re out scouting and finding locations in and around Tunis. I will never forget the man who handed me this garment once: Milo Rietveld 🤍🕯️ #nofilter #preparations #featurefilm #tunesia🇹🇳 #remember #africa #moviemaking #takeamoment
DONKEY DAYS’ press conference: picture time + interesting questions + heat wave. Museo Casorella in Locarno was the location for this morning session held by the festival. Fingers crossed for tomorrow’s award ceremony 🐆🐆🐆
That moment…
When many years are just about to reach the silver screen for the first time. DONKEY DAYS at #locarnofilmfestival 2025, in front of such an incredible audience. Premieres are always exciting, but this one topped all prior ones for me. #bold and #brave and #dear director Rosanne Pel wishes everyone a good screening: “It’s like a freefall…hopefully to you as well” 🫶🏼👌🏼🙏🏼
It’s such an honor to have worked on this film and see it premiere here together with beloved ones. 🎉🥳#Donkeydays #pardodoro #locarno #amazing #maincompetition

Looking back at some DONKEY DAYS set pictures from may 2024 it is still amazing what we pulled off with a superb team of crew and cast. Ignited and inspired by writer & director @rosannepell who found the right tone in any given situation. And look at the tiniest kit ever to eventually make a movie with... DONKEY DAYS is due to be out there at Locarno’s 2025 Main Competition 🐆💫✨ and I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction. Check the link in bio for the trailer and let me know if you could see it somewhere on big screen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. From Ottensen with love to the red carpet 🤘🏼😎.

A really good snack break on a totally surreal set. We’ve been told that big stuff was shot here in the near past. Until the aftermath of a heritage made this whole mountain an abandoned, dismantling and decaying trace of human activity. Looks like it might not last as long as Rome this time…
