I went to Cheung Chau island in Hong Kong this past weekend and happened to pass by a shop with cats in dresses sitting on couches (wtf). When I was passing by they happened to be attacking a bee. It was pretty amusing for a variety of reasons.

Restructuring

Tuesday, Sep 6, 2011 9:22PM / Members only

I’ve officially moved to Hong Kong. Sent out my working visa yesterday, and if all goes well, I’ll be another resident in this already-crowded city. Luckily for me I’m not trapped in finance or teaching like so many expats here–I’m working in film!

2 for 3

A friend of mine regularly asks me what is the highlight of my day. For today, I have to say spending two hours to edit three seconds of footage quickly comes to mind. Time for a late dinner.

Hong Kong Update

Friday, Jul 15, 2011 5:42PM / Members only

Finding a job in Hong Kong is slightly more difficult than I would have expected, but you can’t really expect an easy ride, especially in film. Fortunately for me, Hong Kong is always buzzing with activity, so I’m able to keep busy even though job-wise things are quite cool.

I have a freelance gig coming up and that should be fun! Anyways, I’ll try to keep you all posted if anything big comes up!

Settling in

Friday, May 20, 2011 1:20AM / Members only

First of all, thank you to all the staff, artists and members of AnD who have welcomed me, I'm glad to be a part of such a great group of people!

Settling in, or resettling, has been a little tougher than I thought, as artists in Hong Kong (or anywhere for that matter) don't always have it too easy. Moving here has been interesting, since now, rather that coming to study for a year, I am coming here to live and work. It's interesting how your perception of a place changes due to the different circumstances you are in.

I'm quite grateful to see Hong Kong in this new light because it has led me to become aware of issues that everyday Hong Kongers face as well as new things in life to embrace and new ideas to put in my future movies. Anyways, for those of you who caught Chubby Can Kill, thanks for the support, and for those of you who havent, it may have distribution soon! I'll keep you all updated, but until then, good night form Hong Kong.

Kev

P.S. If any artists in Hong Kong need any help or would like to collaborate, I am always down to help out and meet new people

Yo Kevin! Great seeing you on AnD. I've fanned you and made sure to plug "Chubby Can Kill" (with the Epic Jukebox Program which screened along with The Case at LAAPFF!) hope you can do the same! Us Directors gotta stick together in this Crazy Wild West World of the Internet. Hope all is excellent in HK, wish you coulda made it out to LA for the Screening -- your film was very well received (our Shorts Program was Sold Out and it was a Full House)! Best, Tim.
