  • Press conf invitation and Press release: Hong Kong NEW THRILLER WEB SERIES LUMINA DEBUTS SEPTEMBER 8

    Tuesday, Sep 1, 2009 10:47PM / Standard Entry

    Copied from Juju Chan's blog! Support Lumina folks! I'll be watching it!

    NEW THRILLER WEB SERIES LUMINA DEBUTS SEPTEMBER 8

    Hong Kong, SAR, China (Monday, August 31, 2009). Creating worlds is a passion and one that writer and director Jennifer Thym enjoys. When she entered the film world in July 2008, the investment banker turned filmmaker decided to take a novel approach to reaching her audience. “With LUMINA we wanted to go beyond the conventional format of short film,” says Jennifer Thym, “and create an online fantasy series with wonderful potential for interactivity with its viewers.” As theatrical and DVD sales fall around the world, viewers are increasingly turning to the web for entertainment. “The online audience is already there. To me, it’s about connecting to them with an engaging and beautifully told story.” “LUMINA will open your minds cinematically, and the story will open your hearts to the impossible,” says producer Sommer Nguyen.

    LUMINA stars actress and model JuJu Chan, who also stars in the new RTHK reality show on poverty and is the winner of Miss United Nation International Ambassador 2009, Miss United Nation China, Miss Congeniality and Miss TVB People’s Choice for Miss Chinatown USA Pageant 2009. Michael Chan, star of the viral hit Wall Street Fighter IV, and Vince Matthew Chung, winner of The Amazing Race Asia 3, co-star. The series features music from around the world, including songs from groundbreaking music collective The Enigmatic Army, American college circuit favorite Tim Be Told and China Global Battle of the Bands winner Killer Soap. “Good music is integral to drawing viewers into the story, and I’m honored to have collaborated with such talented musicians,” says Jennifer Thym.



    LUMINA the Web Series premieres with a double webisode release on Tuesday,
    September 8, 2009.
    The accompanying press conference will include a screening of the first two webisodes and an exclusive Q&A session with the cast and director.

    Lumina Wong (JuJu Chan) is beautiful and 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 only 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.

  • Belgium: Country of Soccer

    Monday, Aug 31, 2009 10:52PM / Standard Entry

     

    Now this is what I call the final proof that Belgium really sucks at soccer.

    (Of course their results are a proof on it's own already)

    This is from a match from yesterday. Now check the slow-motion of how the player's leg is bending.

    Coming from blog on August 20:

     

    AnD, Artists and everyone, we need your help!

     

    As you all know during the past year, I've been making the first action-fantasy feature film from Belgium : Reiki The Movie. http://imdb.com/title/tt1201649/

    It was shot for 6000 dollars on a record of 10 days, which is nothing if you see that it has several locations and martial arts scenes.

    Now, we had a distributor that optioned the movie. Several top people from that company watched the movie and loved it! They loved the concept, all the hard work we put into it, that you could feel when watching the movie. But now, the boss of that company, decided after more than 4 months of waiting, to drop the project and thus no distribution.

    The pain is that, since they optioned it, we had to wait for their answer. And because they made us wait that long, we lost a little of the buzz and publicity we had, and thus: now we actually almost have to start over again and create a new buzz.

    Belgium doesn't have Independent film, and we are that community, so help us make an Indie Industry in Belgium!

    Now we are trying to get as much as fans as possible on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/Reiki

     

    Reiki on Facebook

    Our first aim is to pass the 1000 fans, and the big one: to pass the 10.000 fans. If we manage to create a buzz all around facebook, AnD, twitter, myspace,.. and get as many fans as possible, we'll be able to get a lot of publicity here in Belgium, and to get back on the roll, and even find some distribution.

    But we have to move fast,

    so send this message to as much people as possible, post it where you can, just spread the word and help us gather as many fans as possible.

    Cuz indie filmmaking is not loved in Belgium by the Industry! Help us CHANGE THAT!

     

    Thank you!
