Calling all local Digerati and Glitterati,
This month (Wednesday 7th October), we'll be bringing the glamour of Hollywood movie-making to Web Wednesday!
Our guest speaker will be Jennifer Thym (@jenthym
), the writer, director and producer of "Lumina - The Web Series", Hong Kong's 1st foray into distributing and marketing a fantasy thriller via the web.
Jennifer will be joined by members of the cast (beautiful actors) so don't forget your autograph books! Sign up for the event on Facebook or via this blog.
LUMINA is free to view on their website (luminaseries.com) and their YouTube Channel (youtube.com/luminaseries). Within two weeks of launching, Jennifer had signed a distribution deal with KoldCast.tv.
In
her own words: "Filmed on the RED One and starring JuJu Chan, Michael
Chan and Vince Matthew Chung, LUMINA is a dark, densely woven fantasy
set against the sparkling backdrop of Hong Kong. Lumina Wong (JuJu
Chan) is beautiful but works far too much; although she lives in a city
of millions, she still feels lonely and isolated. Late one night,
Lumina has a chance encounter with Ryder Lee (Michael Chan), a handsome
young man from another world that she can see in mirrors and darkened
window reflections. She revels in the fantasy relationship until
mirrorspy Eben Sanchez (Jacob Ziacan) comes into her life, warning her
of the treacheries of the people of the Dark Realm. Soon Lumina must
choose between the safety of the world she knows and the deadly allure
of the unknown."
The night kicks off at 6:30pm and ends around
9:30pm, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to mix with the movers and
shakers of our local Internet and meet some talented local actors!
There
will be an entrance fee of HK$100, unless you're a bona-fide student,
in which case it's HK$50. This includes one complimentary drink. All
other drinks are at Happy Hour prices. (We will issue a receipt, if you
require one).
We will donate 10% of entrance fees to Oxfam's relief work in Philipines and Vietnam in the wake of Typhoon Ketsana.
Do
invite budding producers and entertainment gurus to join the Asian
Digerati on Wednesday 7th October at Volar, Basement, 38-44 D'Aguilar
Street, Lan Kwai Fong, Central.
