This Friday, April 26, I’ll be a guest panelist at the USC Annenberg School of Communications’ “Hollywood 3.0” panel on International Co-Productions. I think my panel is at 2:30PM. Come by with any questions you might have about making your film in China!
Here’s the link to the Hollywood 3.0 Facebook page with all of the info.
I have just discovered several pieces of Tumblr “fan mail” in my inbox. No idea how long it’s been sitting there! Apologies if any of you guys have been sitting around waiting for a reply… Will get to it I promise!

Everyone emailing me about transparent phones. I gots one already!
Pogue’s review of 5 new “smartwatches” that sync to your phone. No sign of Pebble Watch I bought on Kickstarter. Buyer’s remorse?
Overhead diagram of a familiar advertising photo. I don’t read Korean but the artist makes a good point!
Found on my Weibo feed, not sure who created it.
Never imagined my first movie would get good reviews from all these outlets! Thanks to all of our incredible fans for your support!

A pleasant thing that happens when your movie finally gets released — people you don’t know see it and then write nice things about it. I gather that Maura Elizabeth Cunningham is a book critic and a former Shanghai expat. Thanks Maura!
BTW, Shanghai Calling is now released in the US. Where to watch.
By Maura Elizabeth CunninghamShanghai Calling serves up something like a Friends-style perspective on Shanghai for American audiences; writer-director Daniel Hsia’s new romantic comedy omits some of the grittier aspects of living in this city, and its characters are all upwardly mobile urbanites. But this is not to say that I didn’t recognize—and enjoy—the Shanghai that I saw in Hsia’s film (which was shot on location), and I think Americans who have never visited the metropolis will be pleasantly surprised by what they learn while watching it.
