2010 is rapidly coming to an end, been an interesting year to say the least with a few disappointments namely the implosion of the project in Africa (to the folks who ran off with the budget and left us stranded, then refused to honour contracts for the work we did....the words 'F**k you!' spring to mind but what goes around comes around....got to work with many of my friends which is always good, made some great new ones, sadly lost a couple of friends and family but on the whole some great memories from this year
began the year shooting a series of commercials for Suntory with Chang Chen,
the lovely Fan Bing-bing

and the ever great Sammo Hung....
The release of Ip Man 2 on which we did some of the casting including Darren Shahlavi as the pugilistic Twister
Shot a very cool HK promo for the Shanghai Expo
Travelled to Congo & South Africa a number of times for the film that wasnt to be..so much potential but stupid BS destroyed it, people looking for easy monye, destroying their reputation and wondering why its affecting them..... but made some very good connections there and hope to go back and shoot something else there down the line
Went back to Korea for International Action Film Festival run by my godfather Casanova Wong
Then dived into the casting for a little movie called Man with the Iron Fists, which just began shooting in Hengdian and features a number of very talented An'D'ers amongst the cast and crew as well as some very cool names from classic kung fu cinema and it will be one of the must see movies for the coming year...major respect to the RZA and all involved
Shot the first promos for ZOMBASIANS www.zombasians.com with a very talented team in front and behind the camera, Simon yin, Derick Fong, Russell, Erik, Mancy, the list goes on....you guys rock!
and set the ground work for a number of projects for the coming year that could be very very cool
Happy New Year to all on An'D!
