/ Chosen
as one of the worlds most famous actors of all time
and with most recent rolls in Star Wars and Lord of
the Rings a Film industry audience asked myriads of
questions while Mr. Lee tirelessly answered for
over 1 1/2 hours. In the beginning and end of the
Interview and Q&A he languished in several
minutes of standing ovations.
The Bangkok Film Mart is in good
form offering a interesting mix of film genre to
choose from. With considerable product content from
Thailand in the mart as well as Malaysia, China,
India and the USA to name a
few. /// Thailand Feb

What is a film market? Why
is it important? You want to make a movie, but need
to seek financing? You have written a script, but
are not sure if it needs to be improved before you
submit it to a potential financial backer? You have
completed a film, but don't know how to get it
played in your local cinema?
