  FINDS, April 22: More than 80 people crowded the outside deck at Finds, in LKF Hotel, on Wyndham St, on Wednesday night to network with other filmmakers taking part in the I Shot Hong Kong Film Festival.
  
  The crowd vocalised its approval when told the organisers had bent to considerable pressure to extend the deadline for submissions. The new deadline is now May 14.
  
  Many filmmakers have met the original deadline and the pile of submissions is growing increasingly large. Several filmmakers have gone as far as to enter their entries in more than two categories in a bid to cover their bases and increase their chances of winning one of the four categories of Short Film, Documentary, Music Video and Animation.
  
  The networking event also provided a chance to focus on the work of several filmmakers who are currently in production, as well as those whose projects are now in the public domain.
  
  Simon Yin, one of the CB Fresh loonies, gave a talk on one of the first skits the group guerilla shot on the streets of Hong Kong.
  
  Patrice Pajoul screened a trailor for his new film The Other End Of The Gun, starring Kate Sullivan. The premiere will be held next week at 7..30pm on Thursday, April 30th at The Hong Kong Arts Centre (Agnes b. cinema) before Patrice takes it to Cannes. We wish him and his team the best of luck.
  
  Jen Thym, director of new upcoming web series, Lumina, screened her trailor and explained how the new Red One cameras gave the series such a high-end look. You can view the trailor on Youtube or on Alive Not Dead.
  
  And KC Wong, director of last year's winner, Sister, told the crowd how I Shot Hong Kong had launched his film career and given him the impetus to make a new film. We just hope he gets it in on time for this year's judging!
  
  Thanks to Colette Koo for providing FINDS as our venue for this year's networking event. Stay tuned for more news and upcoming ISHK events.  If anyone has pictures from this year's networking event, pls let me know as we like to include as many as we can on this website.
  
  Now get back to editing and get those films in on time!
