I have wanted to communicate aspects of my career, my adjustment to the world of business, and my adjustment to living and working in East Asia, where I had to deal with different cultural, language, and ethical issues on a weekly if not daily basis.

I chose to recount events from an 18-month period in the early 1990s which demonstrate the issues and difficulties I had as a young American expat businessman.

This tale is told in dialogue and visuals in the form of a feature film screenplay with supporting production design tools. The main components are story, characters and locations, with additions of storyboards, animatics and visualizations of fx sequences of selected sequences.

Story

The story is a fictionalized telling of an 18 month period of my career while working in Hong Kong, Beijing and Bangkok Thailand in the early 1990’s.

Blah, blah blah…

Characters

The characters are based on real characters, but often composites of several characters or displaced from events which happened at different times reflected in the story.

Blah, blah blah…

Locations

The geographic location is East Asia, in the cities of Hong Kong, then a British Territory, Beijing China in the early years after opening to the West, and Bangkok Thailand in the midst of a property development boom.

Blah, blah blah…
