Hold on to your film clippings, we are just a DOP's breath away from launching this year's submission notice for the next I Shot Hong Kong film festival.
It's always a huge undertaking to organise the event, to attract sponsors with the right attitude to independent film-making and to make the festival as revelant as possible to the filmmakers and to the audience and this year we hope to make the festival bigger and better than ever before.
For a start, we are adding an extra category, Documentary, to the establis...Read more

The Olympics have gone and the pollution is back. Beijing at its best?! I love visiting this town but the smog and air filth drives me nuts. The Ocean Vista Films team has been producing a half hour business programme for global broadcast giant Bloomberg, in Mandarin. The programme focuses on modern china's successful new breed of businessmen. Our choice for this pilot programme was Lui Da Di, a fascinating creative genius who owns a string of restaurants (including Beijing's first Japanese eateries), who races trucks across ...Read more
Come see us and the other bands tonight in the final. Kick off time is around 11 pm at Club CIXI, On Hong Bld, opposite the California Gym on Wyndham St (up the stairs). See you there.
Well, looks like we are now through to the Hong Kong finals of the Global Battle of The Bands after we won our heat on Friday night.

Some really cool bands entertained a crowd of about 200, including a great band called the Rice Magnets. Very "Brian Ferry". Uranus played last and our vocalist William Pfeiffer really fired up the crowd. I'm glad we played last. The crowd was reasonably lubricated by the time we hit the stage. The...Read more
The nerves are building for Friday night's (tonight's) Global Battle of The Bands, to be held at Club CIXI, On Hong Bld, Central. Uranus! is playing its first public gig at GBOB. The five members in Uranus! are William Pfeiffer (vocals), Ed Bean (guitar and piano), Ryan Poppi (drums), Jasper Donat (bass) and myself (lead guitar). We've managed about three practice sessions in the past three weeks, although Ed, William and I have spent several days working on the original songs (Alive Again and Asia Rocks) for our 8...Read more
OK, for those of you interested in volunteering, donating, or helping out with Operation Smile I have a contact for you. The man who administers the charity in Hong Kong is Steven Tam. His email contact is steven@opsmile.org.hk. I will post a rough cut of the film here when it is finished. C.
One of the great upsides of working in this industry is that every now and then a project comes along that moves you so much it alters your perceptions, changes the way you think and improves you personally as a human being. I am lucky enough to have the privilege to work on such a project at the moment. Ocean Vista Films is producing two films for Operation Smile. Operation Smile is a world-wide charity that raises funds to put teams of volunteer surgeons and nurses into medical missions which fix cleft palates and cleft lips on children and...Read more
