Sharing this post is also very helpful. I'm overwhelmed at the outflow of support already received in the past several weeks and am excited to see what goal we end up reaching with the funding. The more we raise, the more food we can distribute! Some more details below...

One more time in #TarValon, just because... the attention to detail was NUTS! Everything was real. They had incense burning, working side streets, and made it rain for fun. I even conducted an interview up in the second story of one of the buildings.

On the second day, we went to Jordan Studios, where we were able to see a lot of the set and soundstages as well as interview HODs and producers. We even saw Tar Valon (with Seanchan soldiers -- I don't think these were meant to be a story spoiler, just a fun addition.)

Davina Lamont was a treat to meet. A talented hair and makeup artist who also worked on "The Lord of the Rings" (not that I'm biased or anything).

The first day we were at the Two Rivers. The massive set was impressive and extremely detailed. They had actors, fires, and real activities bringing everything to life. We even screened the first two episodes of Season 2 in the Winespring Inn!

A thread on my recent #WheelofTime set visit. I was able to spend last week in #Prague visiting #JordanStudios and the outdoor #TwoRivers set for #WoT. I spoke with HODs and producers about the show and will be sharing a lot more in the coming weeks. #PrimeVideo @TheWheelOfTime
