If we don't support the movies that deserve it, then we will get the movies that we deserve.

Alex Law's Echoes of the Rainbow is showing at HKIFF and will be released to local theatres soon.

I auditioned for a small part in this film, but I didn't get it. I have mixed feelings about missing out on the role.

Part of me is quite sad, because it would have been great to be involved with a movie I could show my mother.

I edited the subtitles on Shamo, but I wouldn't really ask her to watch it. I edited the subtitles on Sasori too, but I wouldn't even think of letting my mother watch it.

It would have been nice to be in a film that won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. That just sounds good.

Why they named it the Crystal Bear is a mystery. Why I would never call it by that name is not. Getting the Crystal Bear in Berlin sounds like a euphemism. A very uncomfortable euphemism.

So why on earth would I be glad I didn't get the part?

Well, it's based on a realistic concession.

When I auditioned, there was of course no mention of who the other actors would be.

If I had actually gotten the part, and shown up the first day of shooting my role to find myself between Simon Yam Tat Wah and Sandra Ng Kwan Yu...

"Look at the size of that f@#$ing gweilo..."

I'd have frozen up like a deer in the headlights.

Then I'd have sh*t myself.

So I'm sort of glad that I didn't get it.

But it does motivate me to work a lot harder on my next audition.

I wonder what movies Jo Koo might be in next year...

Am I starting to see an answer to my question?

I have more faith in you. I think you would have recovered without shatting. Everytime I read something about Sasori, I think 'if this were the 70s, this movie would star Sybil Danning.'

Just keep taking acting classes so you have that chance at co-starring with one of your hot babe idols. I understand how intimidating it would have been to be acting with Simon Yam and Sandra Ng. I think anyone who had any idea of who they were, amateur or professional actor, would have been a bit worried acting in a scene with them. :-)
