Yesterday I was interviewed for something I never thought I’d be interviewed for: being Chinese. I had applied to host a documentary on Canada’s Chinatowns but, by the time I applied, the host had already been cast. So instead, I got to be interviewed for it. We filmed in the park across from Tinseltown, and they asked a lot of tough questions. Some about being Chinese, some about Chinatown, some about my family history (of which I admit I know very little). Kerri, the interviewer and one of the bigwigs at Image Pacific Communications, and Brian, the videographer, were very nice and made me feel comfortable. I don’t know when or where it will be available, but I hope I didn’t make an ass of myself!
On a different topic, it looks like I won’t be in town for the Mighty Asian Film Festival this year, so I’m not part of the production team that entered last year. Somewhat bittersweet since I don’t get to be all crazy like last year, but the reason is that I’ll be in Osaka living it up. I might even miss VAFF this year. I hope not, that was fun too!
