cool! lots of scripts poured in by deadline

I was worried for a while there, but by deadline thirty new scrīpts poured in....  At first i laughed.  Then i cried!  No sleep for the weary!

The scrīpts are great, the kids did a wonderful job.  I am looking forward to shooting scrīpts about the Harbor as see through the eyes of Hong Kong's youth.  They obviously have something to say about it!!!!!  I may never get government funding ever... not all the scrīpts are that , well, shall i say, accommodating.

Rock on Hong Kong Youth!!!
