Lol... Hey Craig, thanks for the comment. First Headway has to be my PhD thesis on film distribution in HK/ China. Should be finished at the end of the summer. I gave the footage to Lindsay at the I Shot Hong Kong event you organised back in April (can't remember the name of the bar: one level down from Azure, LKF); she should have the DVD. Do you still have the HDV tape I gave you before I left HK?

I saw her interview on Oprah where she described her experiences and it was fascinating to hear. I can only imagine what it must have been like talking to her about it firsthand!

Absolutely. Its an interesting concept. Anyone who hears of a tennis legend mixing her talent with art would be curious to find out in which way. It must have been phenomenal meeting her!
