It's been a while since we've posted here. So, just a quick update...
This year has been taken up with preparations for a new documentary we will be shooting for the next 18 months or so on the run up to the Shanghai World Expo 2010. More on this later. For the moment, we are filming the occasional prep meeting, as the designs for one of the major pavilions are drawn up and slogan, logo and mascots are chosen.
With the Olympics almost over now, it feels a bit like someone has released a valve in China. A lot of work had been put on hold. But it's all starting to pick up again now, and LP Films has had a late September rush of projects just come in. We are working hard on films for the Golden Grand Prix chaps, who we put together the "Street Heroes" ad earlier this year. We also have a film coming up for a sub district of Shanghai that wants to expand its promotional activities.
More on all these projects over the next few weeks.

A Farewell Song screening (the China "premiere")
A huge thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came along to the screening of A Farewell Song on Saturday (June 7th) at the Shanghai Cinema on Fuxing Lu. It was really great to be able to finally show the film in our hometown - and to see so many old and new friends there!
We had some fantastic feedback and made 3,500 yuan in dvd and soundtrack sales for the Chinese Red Cross and the survivors of the Sichuan earthquake. We're very grateful and I hope you enjoy them! If anyone still needs a copy of either the DVD or the soundtrack, please contact us.
If you know of anyone who might like to attend future screenings of our films, please pass on their email address and we will add them to our mailing list.

Pangea Day screening
Just a quick note to say that our screening of "A Farewell Song" at the Pangea Day celebrations mentioned in the last post went really well. The venue was a run down old factory/warehouse space just south of the Inner Ring Road. Up on the second floor, one of the large rooms had been transformed into a screening hall with a reasonable projector beaming its load onto a massive hanging white sheet and an excellent sound system that made the most of Raymond Gress's fine work on the soundtrack.
Crowd was small initially but gradually increased, and by the end I am guessing there were about 60 people there. Kudos to the organizers (we met the lovely Panthea Lee during the evening and she was very sweet - the rest of them were buzzing around trying to keep the event going).
We will be announcing a big big screening in the next few days. Come back soon!
