Far East Futura

This is so sick. When I first saw it on the Interpretations site, I was like, “OH SNAP.” It’s a slick vid featuring Far East Movement, produced by Anson Ho and Christina Hoang, with cinematography by Ray Huang, cuts by Greg Louie, graphics by Jonathan Winbush, and directed by Evan Jackson Leong who I spotlighted recently.

And just fyi, this is NOT an entry in the Interpretations contest. Just an example of what you can do with a simple script. So if you’re inspired… get your camera, some peeps, and make your interpration! For more info, check out: interpretationsfilm.com

Interpretations

It’s not something I’d do.
Well?
It’s not what I expected.
You sure?

It’s totally up for your interpretation. Sounds like a lot of fun. Five finalists will be announced at the San Diego Asian Film Festival in October and will receive $3,000 each as well as a one-year subscription to the WGA’s WRITTEN BY magazine. For more info, check out: interpretationsfilm.com.

Music needed for indie documentary

Hello Musicians & Composers,

I’m looking for music! For an indie documentary about Christianity in Asia. I’d say stylistically it’s kinda like Michael Moore meets Planet B-Boy.

We’re looking for all types of music, so no, the music does not need to be of the Christian genre. Open to hip hop, rock, electronic, instrumentals, etc. We are looking for both produced tracks as well as samples of composed music.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a budget for this, so this is definitely for people who’d like to collaborate with some good peeps, contribute their music to a passion project that has the intention of reaching the masses, and of course a film credit for your resume.

Please submit any links to music or inquiries about the project to: grace@peachies.net

We are on a pretty tight post-production schedule, so please do get in touch with me ASAP if you’re interested. Thanks!
