Film distribution is complicated business and cannot be simply answered with “release everything day and date”. Not everyone is a cinephile who is constantly online, and algorithms make promoting films harder than ever because they keep everyone in their own bubbles.

Yes. Definitely. But I hope the film industry one day wakes up & realizes this happens BECAUSE international release dates are so far apart. If it's on VOD in any country, it's out for everyone online. And this will never ever change. It's the distribution that is the problem.

In my side of the world, ALL OF A SUDDEN’s 4 festival screenings sold out pretty quickly, but getting 1000 cinephiles who know about Hamaguchi to see the film is not the same as trying to get 50,000 people who don’t to spend 3 hours to see it.

Hong Kong chooses SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT as its representative at the Oscars this year. I’m not allowed to snark so much anymore, so that’s all I can tweet.

How you prove that you’ve been in the film industry long enough: when you can trade stories of companies owing you money with other industry people like war stories (yes, I have my share of them).

One production owed so much money that I managed to meet other people who worked on it, and we joked that we were the victims’ alliance (they eventually paid, but there was other drama after that)

So proud that Isabella Lam’s DEAD END will have its world premiere in the Vision section of this year’s Busan International Film Festival. I worked with Bella on TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS, and I was honored that she asked me to subtitle her directorial debut.

I hosted Will’s Q&A’s for A FOGGY TALE at this year’s HK Film Festival. Really nice, down to earth and incredibly charming guy who’s great in front of a live audience. He’s probably nervous as hell, but he’s going to do a fantastic job.

The script could've used a little polish, but props for getting the "nin".

I’m lucky I watched a screener because I can admit I was stopping the film to check Wikipedia more than once.

Welcome to Hong Kong, where you can pass by Chow Yun-fat and his friends on a Saturday morning run by the harbor on a regular basis (and everyone respects him enough to not stop him for a selfie).

#TIFF26 World Premiere: 💔 THE AGE OF GOODBYES dir. Edmund Yeo
A graphic containing a still from the film THE AGE OF GOODBYES. A young woman is in her wedding dress, she looks like she is lost in her thoughts, staring into nothing. Behind her are chinese lanterns, glowing in red. The graphic reads: "Special Presentations, THE AGE OF GOODBYES, dir. Edmund Yeo."

RIP to the one and the only Patrick Tse. He's still the coolest celebrity encounter of my life (I'm not posting the photo because why?).
