My nursemaid Gaga called me at 8 in the morning to remind me about yumcha with her at 9. As I brushed my teeth, my waxed hair stuck out like a sea urchin and refused to go down. Boy, I need a haircut today. I got down to Gaga's place in Wan Chai around 8:30AM and took her to dimsum. Gaga is 84 this year and she has a tendency to repeat herself over and over again. Every year I saw her for the last 10 years, she always told me the same thing, "I want to die. But I'm still alive."
I received this powerful statement from my friendJeremy Boulat currently residing in Japan:
Good luck, and vote!
Who could have imagined Saddam Hussein to show up in a Halloween party other than in one of the farthest corners of the world from America... in a gay club of Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia? As much as it was an almost brilliant costume, it shows how Saddam Hussein is still in the world's memory. Has his death made him a deity in the underworld of goblins, witches and evil spirit?

While I thought the way he made and shot it as a no-budget film was inspiring, I was also troubled by some story/character and ideological points. Based on a short story by Yiyun Li, The Prince...Read more

Dear friends and colleagues,
I’m asking you to hear me out and let as many people know as possible about this urgent matter.
Imagine a Sundance Film Festival without the Sundance institute. Imagine General Cinemas or AMC has usurped the festival and its name because the festival has become so successful. This is what’s going on in Hong Kong right now, a city where I was born, raised and am still very much a part of.
Ying E Chi, the non-profit independent film distribution organization in Hong Kong, ha...Read more

Something hilarious happened to me this morning, so I gotta write about it. My producer Stanley set up a meeting with a production sound company to discuss finishing up the sound mix for my film The People I've Slept With.So I drove to the studio at 10:30AM in Burbank to meet my producer.

Stanley and I looked at each other...Read more
