week 3: onto new horrizons.

Status updates from the front lines.

1. Deeply entrenched in the casting war.
2. The move to new living quarters in Gongguan was a success.
3. Found free WiFi at Norwegian Wood (named after the Murakami book & the Beatles song), and thus no longer a slave to WiFly.
4. Primary locations in Southern Taiwan were safe from typhoon damage.
5. Onto version 2.2 of the script.

week 2: boy, you gotta carry that weight.

Just got back into Taipei, after a location scout near Syuejia and brief diversion to Taichung to visit family. There's talk of a typhoon coming in this weekend (yay for tropical rain!). The weather's been up in the air (one minute it's cloudy/foggy with lighting strikes and another it's sunny). This would be the first typhoon of the season if it hits.

Watched Empire of Silver, for my birthday yesterday with my uncle. A strange concoction of a film; hemorrhaging story lines, bad CG (the wolves!) and melodrama... what was even stranger was seeing Jennifer Tilly in there.

Starting to interview some people to help out as crew. No#1 priority is to work on casting as quickly as possible. In another month I'm slated to be shooting.

Here's to hoping it all works out.
