We got so many more applications for the program  than we bargained for  ("A Girl's LIfe" films about gender stereotyping by Hong Kong youth)

We have lots of adults trying to get access to the program (i am totally bartering...."okay, you get fifteen kids to know about the program, AND apply, and then MAYBE we will let...Read more

Cabaret... Chicago... Moulin Rouge.... Research is fun

Been at it all day.  Glued to this computer..

...cause my life is split between the charity work (Focus on Film/A Girl's Life Program) and the reality of keeping food on the table

Basically Sunday is what i have to move forward on this event i'm doing.  Yeah, so it's like a name band being like flown in, like, a/v projections to shoot and edit, like two musical numbers and other various talent to organize, a set to build, a canopy to erect... Yeah, so, it's, like, a show...Read more

Barbara Wong supports our program... we are SMILING!

Yup, she's cool.  Barbara Wong is definitely totally okay in my book.

For those of you who have had the good fortune to meet her, or see her at work, you know Barbara is talented , lovely AND down to earth.   We are very fortunate to have her involved in the program: A Girl's Life.

Okay,..

Mama Mia Mania

Yes, that is my excuse... if i wasn't so obsessed with dissing the movie Mama Mia (which Mark Kermode does brilliantly by the way... check it)  then i would have been blogging more.

Oh yeah, then there is the herculean task of bringing free film making opportunities to the young people of Hong Kong.

This time, we're helping three groups produce three films on gender stereotyping.

All their own original work, all with professional equipment.

It is what i always wanted film school to be for myself:  show m...Read more

Blog: Saturday, May 10

Right, so, like my wushu instructor thinks i should blog about it!  

Here we go!

First of all- i so knew i would totally dig wushu, and i am right- i, like, totally dig it (toters, or is it tauters... or tawters.....)

I love that it is so akin to dance and i love doing it outside and, oh yeah, my instructor is wonderful.  We are so hard core that we walked through the typhoon a coupla weeks ago, were drenched to the skin, but STILL worked out.

The bad news is:  havent worked out since.  And the reasons ...Read more

Yah, so okay, it's been a while since i last blogged.....  (do YOU get those emails encouraging you to spill your guts regularly?)

So ya wanna know what's up.

Let's give it a try.

Last night closed the production of The Pillowman at the Fringe i was helping out with.  Ms Zeller had to drop out for other commitments and i stepped in to fill her formidable shoes.  She got me hooked by promising it was only a five minute walk on.  What she neglected to tell me was that it was three different characters- two of them ...Read more
