My Father Was The Center Of The

I Just Did A Dramatic Love Story. Whether It's A Cultural Phenomenon Is Not For Me To Say.

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.

So It [3d] Is Something I'm Still Learning, It's Fresh, So If The Budget Allows I'll Do It Again And Just See How Far It Goes Because It's The Frontier, It's More Interesting. It's Still Expensive, The Projection System Can Be Annoying Sometimes, It's Not Really Regulated Or Perfected Yet, So It's Still Expensive. If I Do A Lower Budget I'll Just Do 2d, But If The Budget Allows I Think I'll Try 3d.

My Father Was The Center Of The Family, And Everyone Tried To Please Him.
