I Feel Like All Of My Characters

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.

I Think A Movie Is A Media That Is Evoking Feelings.

So It [3d] Is Something I'm Still Learning, It's Fresh, So If The Budget Allows I'll Do It Again And Just See How Far It Goes Because It's The Frontier, It's More Interesting. It's Still Expensive, The Projection System Can Be Annoying Sometimes, It's Not Really Regulated Or Perfected Yet, So It's Still Expensive. If I Do A Lower Budget I'll Just Do 2d, But If The Budget Allows I Think I'll Try 3d.

Things That Don't Have A Big Impact Seem To Be Crucial. Always When You Go Out To Make A Movie You Have Questions, "what If This Doesn't Work? What If That Doesn't Work?" You Want To Cover Yourself, You Want To Bring Back Enough [footage] So You Can Do Something.
