I saw this at Salem Film Festival 2011, and was very impressed. Gil Kofman not only did an amazing job directing, but he also wrote and edited as well. He shared his experiences in making a large production film in China under a communist regime. It was fascinating hearing him tell his story after we watched the film!
There is actually a Chinese version of the film, which we watched the first five minutes of. Thank God Gil retained the rights to his own film here in America--the Chinese version was like watching a dying animal. The cast was AMAZING, and I was overall very impressed with the production. I think Gil did a good job bringing his vision to a film that was highly dictated by a country of censorship and artistic repression. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes a good story with lots of good twists!
