• seeing arthouse film online

  Thursday, Mar 19, 2009 9:47AM / Standard Entry

  Someone sent this website to me:
  
  http://www.theauteurs.com/
  
  Once you sign up, you can access to their film library, although quite a lot of films require purchase, there are indeed some free films you can see (streaming), like bergman's virgin spring and fellini's la strada, yeah these films are free!
  
  they mostly show art house film and from what i see now, they are still growing and hopefully there will be more and more films available...
  
  i did sign up and check out the quality of the films, i think they look fine, i mean, it is free and legit and you can't ask for more....

• A conversation with Kiyoshi Kurosawa

  Friday, Mar 13, 2009 5:43PM / Standard Entry

  wow, just had a one on one conversation with renowned Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa today. It was really a nice and insightful conversation and Kurosawa san was definitely a friendly and faithful person.
  
  I had talked to quite some Chinese directors and also Korean directors before, but this is the first time I was having an in-depth (not really in depth in a sense considering the time) talk with a Japanese director, especially an internationally acclaimed master, so it was really exciting and rewarding.
  
  The interview was done for Cinespot and Kurosawa san talked about his film Tokyo Sonata, his favorite actor Yakusho Koji and some more... it'll be up on the site very soon.
  
  I greatly appreciate Karen/Leo for arranging it and Taro Goto from sfiaaff to be our interpreter... thanks guys!
  
  remember to check out tokyo sonata, one of my favorite movies of the year, at sfiaaff starting this weekend!

• short, relocation and a new career...

  Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 9:08AM / Standard Entry

  little update about my recent activity, i am still working on a narrative short right now.. scheduling are kinda driving me mad..other than that, it is fun and exciting...
  
  
  a quick snapshot on the set (pic by carter)
  
  after i finish this short film, i'll probably have a trip, i havent really planned out where i want to go yet, but i prefer to go back to hk for a while, and then go to shanghai and beijing to take a look. i am also thinking if i should take some time to go to LA or NY.. actually i am thinking to relocate to some of these places, and so i just hope to take the time to explore any film-related career there..
  
  if you have any advice about working in these cities and u dun mind to share your experience, plz contact me!
  
  thanks

• Einstein's head

  this robot sure looks great, but on the other hand, i am just wondering if it is really right to re-create einstein's head that way?

• Hurray to Sean Penn for winning the oscar

  Monday, Feb 23, 2009 4:56PM / Standard Entry

  Hurray to Sean Penn for winning the oscar, as i said before, his portrayal of harvey milk is definitely one of the best performance i have seen for a while... in fact i guess the last time i had similar feeling was almost 5 years ago when i was awed by the flawless performance by oldboy's choi min-sik...
  
  slumdog millionnaire as the big winner is also well deserved. it is not a perfect film, but the director, actors and script have all done a good job..
  
  the only pity is probably the lack of recognition for wall-e.. merely a best animation award couldn't do this film justice... the surprise is the best foreign film, i guess it has been a while for an east asian film to win the award..
