We have started! Yesterday we had our first filming day at the source, which is incredibly beautiful. The mountains seem like cardboard cut-outs against a brilliant blue sky and we've been taking some lovely shots. It's been a real reminder to me of how brilliant this team is. Matt Norman, the cameraman, has an extraordinary eye for a good picture and I'm loving my first trip with Zubin, who has a contagious sense of fun.

Matt Brandon, who I've worked with on Tribe, has shown what a natural leader he is and it's a pleasure to be working with him again. He has the rare ability of being able to listen to everyone's ideas and advice and then assimilate these into his own strong vision of the film.

The source itself is amazing - when you approach first you see the cross, and then the water just pouring out of the rock face. We've shot the opening sequence to show how remote and unexpected a place this is for the source of the world's biggest river.
