Without these resources I have to try to go on my own. Today I did by filming on my own as my cameraman is now away. My assistant is also out but luckily today's meeting was a rare one I didn't need to understand Farsi.
I know I should be happy that I was posted somewhere I have to seriously think about how important it is to know how to manage things with the limited budget and "external power". To be honest, I really didn't have to think about it so much when I was working in Japan. Cameraman collegues were all over the place and asking for help was not so big an issue. I would have easily gone to research trips if I wanted to as planning for trips by myself was not hard and I always was confident about how to use money properly even under strict compliance rules.
Here it's so hard to judge how to do that as hiring someone though there might not be anything important would look like a waste, but on the other hand when something crucial thing happens, I can't tell Tokyo, "oh sorry I don't have a cameraman", "my assistant is out on a trip and I don't have the contacts to confirm that"... I would just look like a dork.
In Japan, I couldn't overcome many things alone, but on many of the cases I did. I was happy when I was able to conquer a mission with my strength... here most of the things don't work out that way... It's really stressful and to be honest it makes me very uneasy I can't be the last resort to the solution... sad reality...
Meeting of the day...
a Japanese-Iranian cooperation!
