致各位朋友，

本人想特別鳴謝一東基金和電影學院頒發本年度的一東基金獎學金給予本人。

有賴基金對年輕電影人的支持，我們才能更勇敢地用行動實現自己的想法。我謹代表其他電影學生感謝一東基金一直以來的支持，並希望將來還能繼續得到他們的鼓勵。

Before we began the principal photography, I asked my producer, Harley, to get me a notebook for the exclusive purpose of recording all the unfortunate situations we encounter along the process, and, boy were we unfortunate: canceling an entire shooting venue; crew members/actors bailing out right before the shooting; The Highways Department showed up unannounced with their Earth-shakening machineries; extreme difficulty in production scheduling; government bureaucracy sent its regards; technical failures in key moments; gigantic battery decided to grow a pair wings and fly away; random thugs threatened to call the police; the pandemic looming behind the scenes...

In many ways, I find the events recorded in this notebook wayyyy more dramatic than my own script and I believe Harley would concur. What she didn't know, however, is that on the back of the notebook is an equally long section exclusively dedicated to the polar opposite of what was recorded on the front: all the miscellaneous details of grace I received along the way.

The past two weeks were, by all means, perilous and tormenting. As the director, I was constantly trapped between my self doubts and external restrictions. The consequence of each mistake could compound exponentially if not taken seriously. More often I found myself facing questions that require immediate answers which I simply do not have. The combined physical and mental stress was nothing like I ever faced before.

They say the director is a lonesome creature for he or she alone holds the complete (motion) picture but this could not be further away from the truth in my case. In fact, I find that the most interesting elements of the film are often the creative works of someone else, be it the actors, cinematographer, sound recordist, assistant director, art director or even the producer (by using my money creatively). My crew tackled each problem professionally and efficiently. I owe the success of this production to them alone.

Aside from my amazing crew and cast, I had received tremendous help from many unexpected means, whether in the form of financial support or providing essential services. I cannot recall how many times we managed to escape calamity with those timely interventions (that's why I need the notebook for that). If you too, want to be a part of this project, I sincerely welcome you to visit my crowdfunding website where I will constantly update the progress. I am used to not having things the way I wanted them by now, but I'm thankful for all those little moments, those little surpises, that spice things up once in a while.

親愛的各位，

拍攝正式開始了！目前進度大致良好，還懇請大家繼續為我們祈禱，讓我們繼續在預算之內完成拍攝。請參看我們第一，二天的劇照。
