Riding with Street Racers Tonight I came home and saw everybody at the shop. We all hung out, and I helped F and C to fix their computer with the spyware. They now own their own shop because A had another one of his evil schemes going, which made F know it was time toContinue reading “Friends”

Riding with Street Racers The line between film maker and friend had long been blurred. For most of them, I am not even the journalist or filmaker person anymore. I am just the neighbour and friend who hangs out who pass by and say “hello” every day. I am one of the crew. I amContinue reading “Friend, Filmmaker, Den Mother”

Riding With Street Racers Nine Pages of Drunken Work Notes. It’s here to view if you want to wade through it. I do not promise there is anything interesting or makes sense. The typos are atrocious. Good luck.

Riding with Street Racers. Friday. Decided to turn the phone off, and stay at home. Been drinking too much in the last month and needed some time to just chill. By myself, it always happens that I feel like doing that on Friday night. Probably because I can’t face all the people, preferring to beContinue reading “Thoughts on My Neighbourhood.”

Riding with Hong Kong Street Racers People ask me how I know them. How I started the film. How a chick who could barely speak Canto be allowed into these badass men’s lives.

Street Racing While sitting in the back of the car at night as we drive the distances needed to get from one place to another in Australia, I finally understood one of the things the racers have told me numerous times. That part of the thrill is that they like driving to different places, justContinue reading “Long Drives”

Changing Things: A girl can climb a fence! I have been doing odd little gender experiments the last two times we’ve gone out. It probably makes me a bad documentary maker and definitely a bad anthropologist. What I should be doing is observing at all times, and not do anything overtly challenging. But I amContinue reading “Changing Things: A girl can climb a fence!”

Lately, Fai and Candy has slowed down on the racing and instead been on these rather interesting “Exploring” trips into the New Territories, they will look up different “Haunted” areas around the villages or the edge of the city, near the reservoirs in the middle of nowhere. I enjoy the ride there and seeing theContinue reading “Street Racing: Superstitious Wimps!”
