Dear friends,
Year Without A Summer has made its way to Vancouver which is 12692.827km away from Sg. Ular (Kuantan), the place we shot the film.
No matter where you are, we have a very important message for you:
"Lynas, an Australian company is building the world biggest rare earth refinery near to this village Sungai Ular, Kuantan and Tan Chui Mui is currently campanining to stop Lynas. Liew Seng Tat, Woo Ming Jin and Yeo Joon Han are making short films to support. You can find out more fromhere!

An early phone call from Malaysian filmmaker Tan Chui Mui woke me up this morning. It was 7 in the morning, her assistant passed me stuff before I came to Shanghai so I could pass it to her.
So I met her 20 minutes later for breakfast. She told me she was going to have an interview of sorts for Japanese filmmaker Iwai Shunji's official website.
Like many of my Japanese film lovers of my generation, I was captivated by his works like LOVE LETTER (still a personal all-time favourite) and ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU during my youth. I fell in love with LOVE LETTER when I was 13, that was 14 years ago, and my love never wavered. It was through his influences that I make my films that some have considered visually poetic and sensitive.

Guana gamok?
