    Our first day of production was a night scene.  We weren't able to shoot in So UK Estates like we had originally planned but we found an even more suitable spot just a few feet away. 
  
  
  
  Everything had been prepped and ready and still had not heard from some of the guys as to who was going to DP (Director of Photography) the shoot!  When walking down the street was Albert Leung!  Albert was in post production on his movie Time Stopper which I got to play a cop and I was so thrilled to see him here to help TGG.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Charles Edwards (left) and Francis Chan (Right) were two actors/directors whom I developed a very good friendship with over my course of living in HK.  Charles was the lead in my first theatre performance Popcorn and a director of commercials, I was honored when he thought of me for a role in one of his commercials. When I initially wrote TGG I had thought of him as the lead and troubled father.  I thought I can't get Charles he's super busy flying from  Australia and back and working on his gigs, but to my surprise he was just as enthused as I was!  And I knew with him as my lead, this was going to be a great film even if I didn't do my best...haha just kidding.
  
  Francis Chan, is my brother of soul, he grew up in age when Bruce Lee was at his prime and eventually passed away, so Francis absolutely loved Bruce!  I grew up in that time later, when Bruce had already passed and was becoming a legend! Francis and I met on an acting gig in Macau we just got along right away!  We loved the same things and loved music and life and taking chances enjoying things!  Francis grew up in Canada and Hong Kong so he could relate with how I saw things.  The other cool thing about Francis is he's a Radio DJ!  How cool is that! 
  
  
  
  We had always talked about doing something together but just never made it happen.  I told him I had this movie I was going to make and asked him to join me!  When I wasn't sure if I had a "Charles" character I thought Francis could be that guy, but I'm glad things turned out the way they did, as I think Francis fit Fred much better. Two professional actors playing against each other, I love it.  Can't thank you guys enough!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Albert Leung, writer, director, actor, editor, martial artist, cinematographer, he's just great!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
     if was a great night, before our final shot, we did get the cops pulling up on us but we told them we were just wrapped for the night and we were.  Great start, I think that night we ended up going to Mcdonalds afterwards to celebrate.  Til, tomorrow when we would return to this location well a block away from there.
