I like shooting movies in Thailand very much because the government is so cooperative there. The police help you to close the roads for shooting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Shooting in Hong Kong, you can do whatever you want, even change the script every day. In Hollywood, you have to have a lot of meetings.
If Thai citizens still hold this harmony in their hearts, there is hope that in whatever the situation, Thailand will surely get through it safely and with stability.
Shopping in Thailand is super cheap and generally high quality. Bangkok is also safe. If you see anybody wearing camouflage holding a machete, don't be scared. They sell coconuts.
I have spent quite some time in Malaysia, as my mother is from there. And shooting there was a great experience.
I love filming in London. In New York, every street is familiar because you have seen it in a movie. They mythologise their own city. You're forever trying to get down streets that have been blocked off because of shooting. In London, they don't put up with it; they're grumpy.
I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
I always prefer shooting on locations, because when I'm at home, it's harder to sort of get lost in the world of whatever you're making. It does, it does force this bond and community amongst a group.
Hollywood has a longer pre-production period and they juggle shooting schedules more carefully for each cast. In Korea, we shoot day and night without much break.
I enjoy shooting. Around where I live, it's something you do for entertainment once in a while, you go out and shoot targets.
I've never been to Thailand and I've only heard good things about it. I really want to make my way there.
