Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

The Directors (Simon Ko, Hyunsuk Kim, Matte Chi, Peter Chin) are finished with principal photography and are all currently working on their cuts and will be finished with their Rough / Fine Cuts by June 29, 2009. After which, we will be able to schedule any pickups if necessary and move on to finish our films.

On the night of February 24th 2009, the Actors randomly selected their character breakdowns and the Directors randomly selected their shooting slots for the Relay. We have been quietly and actively moving forward on making the Relay a reality. We have rebooted the project by going back to its conceptual roots, where improvisation and creativity is king. We want to thank all of you have already helped in getting this project off the ground and to all those who have auditioned as well. But make no mistake, the Relay is only just getting started. We send out luck and congratulations to Simon Ko for selecting the first shooting slot!
