Teaser of Work in progress

Teaser trailer of a short film I am working on. Well, technically, it is more like an exercise, since the entire setup is very simple, just me and a few friends trying to experiment with our equipments and various cinematic language.

We spent a sunny afternoon shooting this one, and perhaps expect one or two more days to finish the rest.

How media controls what we see

It has been ages since I last posted an entry. I've been spending my time writing two screenplays and also working on a video project with some friends.

Anyway, my friends and I went to Oakland and shot some footage last week, it was partly for the project we are doing, and partly because we just wanted to learn more about what is happening after seeing/reading so much about the Occupy movement there.

In the Bay Area, Oakland is always the spotlight of the occupy movement, violent protest, conflicts, gun fig...Read more

Is film festival as important as it used to be?

I've just read an article and the writer (who is also a filmmaker and film festival programmer) questions the existing value of film festival as the technology of streaming video is becoming more and more advanced.

While I don't totally agree, it is true that if your sole purpose is to reach a wide audience, film festival is no way comparable to streaming v...Read more

A visit to the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum

Last weekend I didn't have much to do and went hanging out with friends. We came across some posting on the web and found a silent film screening at night...

So we just took a chance and went to the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, didn't expect anything... but then just realized it is definitely one of the more interesting discoveries of the year..
