Making Movies in the Sun and Surf - on Turkey Day

9:49 PM

As most of you know, it is actually a 20-episode dramatic TV series titled, in English, "China's Peacekeeping Police," that I must go to Hainan to finish. It is a highly anticipated action/thriller with an unusual twist for a Prime Time CCTV 1 broadcast slot.

Whatever it turns out to be, good, bad or horrible, I will put my finishing touches to the story over the next seven days in Hainan. While I love a movie set or a theatrical stage almost as much as I do ballyards and neighborhood barrooms, the sudden notice of when I was needed in Hainan to finish the shoot came a bit inconveniently; and I was annoyed.

I was just getting everything caught up in the writing, editing and teaching parts of my life, when the phone rang and I suddenly remembered a serious commitment I'd made to another important element of who I am--the actor.

Consequently, I will be on the road in Hainan for the next week. I will bring my computer with me, but I don't know how much Internet access I will have.

I also must confess to looking forward to the tropical weather and reconnection with mother ocean--in this case, the South China Sea.

I also do not know about the telephone situation in the non-touristy part of Hainan, where I just found out we will be, so if I cannot call you:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL!

Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Bosco, and have a good time in Hainan. Hopefully we can get together when you come back.

By the way, I'm really surprised to know that you are an actor! 2 Thumbs Up in advance for the "China's Peacekeeping Police"!
