The toughest part of a documentary is getting all the pieces of the puzzle together, and then editing it into a cohesive story. After about two weeks of getting bogged down (editing video until sun-up every day of the week is not fun), this project has returned to its former state of being a fun task, as opposed to the agonizing chore into which it had morphed. Numerous factors come into play, the first one being optimistic words from A-Chang, who is in cahoots with the organizers of the Kaohsiung Film Festival. The second is the generous donation of hours and hours of Kaohsiung indie-rock footage from years past, which was the final piece of the puzzle that was missing until now. The third factor has been the until-recently un-vocalized support and encouragement from the bands themselves. It couldn't have come at a better time. All the artists have been unconditionally co-operative in the making of this film, allowing our cameras into their band rehearsals, their private backstage areas, their homes, their workplaces, and their lives. On one hand, their words are very inspiring, but on the other hand, it puts a little more pressure on us to make sure we don't let them down-that we make this film the best representation of their music that it can possibly be.
