TOKYO SONATA

I love the bittersweet (slightly ambiguous) ending. One of the best ones I've seen in a while...



Also, what's up with Japanese films and Debussy?

GOLDEN HORSE SHORT

Sadly enough, I haven't shot a film in almost 2 years (not including the occasional commercial).

I'm now in pre-production on a short film for an omnibus project, sponsored by the Golden Horse Film Festival. It's a collection of 20 shorts (5 minutes each), all by Taiwanese directors, established and not-so-established. The actual feature-length omnibus will be the 2011 opening film for the festival.

My short is about a washing machine.

FOUR LIONS

Funniest movie I've seen in a while. Also some of the best slapstick in recent memory. It's about a group of bumbling Pakistani suicide bombers in Sheffield...

You have to have a little faith in people...

What is it with me and black and white anamorphic romances set in New York?
