Returned to Tokyo last night.
Prior to that, I was, as usual, in a two-day film shoot on the 4th and 5th of September. (yes, I'm always shooting something in Malaysia just before I return to Tokyo, this sense of urgency adds more to my desperation, and desperation leads to more creativity).
Assistant cinematographer Kenny Chua had posted a number of great stills of our epic production.
These are our three main actresses.

Prior to the shoot, my sister grumbled "oh boy, will there be another shot of a sleeping woman like your previous films?"

The shoot was pretty smooth, nervous breakdowns happened only sporadically.
