ROULETTE CITY 《輪盤》

It's again been a long while since I updated my AnD site. Sorry about that. Was just too busy juggling my time between opening my Hoshizora Japanese Cake Shop (yes, it's open now!!) in Macau, travelling to Hong Kong for rehearsals for the Wizard of Oz musical, and preparing for the feature film that I'll be directing in September called 'Roulette City'. I'll sign off here with some information for the movie from the Island Man Pictures website www.islandmanpictures.com.

See ya soon! T

Island Man Pictures will be producing its first feature film called 'Roulette City' (formerly known as 'The Landlord') this summer. The film will be filmed entirely in Macau (South China) and shooting will commence on 20 Sept 2008.
