Hi, I order the DVD from Amazon but the DVD seems is still not out yet. Do you know why the delay?
February 22, 2009 at 2:59 am
I’m not sure, my producer is handling the liaising so I’m completely out of the loop, but i do know that it is temporarily out of stock.

ar yes, I want to order too. However do you think the DVD can be played in my DVD player in Hong Kong? I think there is “regional restriction” on DVD format right?
March 11, 2009 at 1:12 am
Dear Matt, the DVD is configured for all regions
Thanks for your support!

thanks zihan, I want to buy the “Pleasure Factory” DVD on amazon too, but I’ve learnt that it’s just for “Region 1″. Do you know where I can buy an all regions Pleasure Factory DVD?
March 11, 2009 at 10:21 am
Region 1 is the American version released by Strand, it is the only one which is uncensored. All other versions of Pleasure Factory including region 3 discs in Singapore and Thailand are censored.
Most DVD players now can cope with multi-regions, you can check if your player has such a capability

thanks zihan, are you hinting that I should buy the uncensored one?
Anyway I have placed the order and look forward to receive them soon…

I received Solos finally! I watched it last night and just love it. I also like your interview with Ian McKellen as well.
Zihan, can you tell me the sybolism of the young boy (you) playing in the forest?

Hi Zihan
Just wondering why is the DVD only 70 min? Other sources quoted your film’s original length to be 77 mins. Has there been a cut?
March 16, 2009 at 2:55 am
Hi Keeve,
Thanks for your query. No there hasn’t been a cut. 77 mins was the rough cut length we submitted for festivals as screeners. 70 mins is the actual running length of the final cut we submitted for screening. The 7 mins are trimmings made to the edit to smoothen the pacing.
None of the explicit content, which is integral to the film, is cut from that 7 mins.
Hope this clarifies.
Cheers
Zihan

Hi, I managed to watch ur film. I thought I saw some masking tape over your “3rd spot” for the final explicit scene with LimYB. Did u really put a masking tape on?

What can i say? You have sharp eyes, or a very powerful zoom function on your DVD player
cheers
