Ever wondered "WHY DID IT TAKING Nam SO LONG to make this film?!"
Here's why:
I decided to make the costs to produce this film transparent to the public for many reasons. Firstly, I hope that people will better understand what goes into making a film. Secondly, I want people to know what their money/donations are being used for. Thirdly, other new film makers may be interested in the financial aspects/equipment, and fourthly, it is important for me to keep track of this stuff!!!
thanks for your time, support and interest, ~ me = Nam :)
