Post-Production, meet Pre-Production!

It’s February 17th.  It’s been about 3 months since we wrapped the Hong Kong portion of the shoot, and it’s about 3 months from now that we’ll be shooting in Vancouver.

Post-production on the Hong Kong footage is in progress, while pre-production gathers speed for Vancouver.  At first glance it should be easier to prep for a shoot that’s in my own country, but then again, it’s still 4000 kms away from home in Ottawa.

Today I was looking through photos from the Hong Kong trip, finding a few to use as press material, and I was thankful all over again for the support and encouragement that all our supporters and friends have given over the past 6 months.  I can’t wait to show you a trailer and some edited scenes in about a month!  Stay tuned…

Wrapped in Hong Kong!

Aside from a few scenics still to shoot with DP Marc Oberdorfer, we have wrapped the shoot in Hong Kong.  Many thanks to the cast and crew involved, it was such an honour to work with you all!  What a crazy 10 days.  Here are a few snapshots:

On Location

Today the crew was out locking locations and finding new ones all over Hong Kong.  Aching feet, but good times.  4 days to go…

Pre-production underway in Hong Kong

We’ve been in Hong Kong just over a week.  Lots to do, but things are coming together.  We should be able to announce the cast by Monday, just waiting for confirmation on a few things.

In any bits of “down time” I’m wandering through different neighbourhoods looking for more shooting locations, and meeting local filmmakers to talk shop. It’s great to be here!
