Permanent Residence

Permanent Residence is the life story of a man who indulges in thoughts of after life and passionately falls in love with a straight guy.

People naturally speculate it is my biography. Not really but, I only shoot stories that I have faith in, and yet they are unusual, about improbable love and impossible life.  Why bother to invent when there are ample of them yet to be made into a film?

The passion in this film is between men, but I’ve found the story more readily touches the hearts of women.

The film was shot in Israel, Japan, Australia, Thailand and mainland China, thanks to the beautiful camera work of Herman, a director who has shot over 100 films. However, the beauty of my films always rest with the actors. Sean said he would really fall in love with Osman and win his heart if necessary, and I reckon their performance should win the hearts of many audiences, men or women, gay or straight.

Permanent Residence is for those of you who believe love can survive life.
