My undiscovered Amy Tan filmPosted by Thomas Crampton, September 9, 2008 4:45 PM
Blogger Thomas Crampton posts some of his so-called "work" on Danwei from time-to-time. Bestselling author Amy Tan this weekend premieres her first opera, The Bonesetter’s Daughter, so I have decided to open the greater public to one of her lesser-known earlier cinematic works (and my film directing debut). Some images were used in her excellent TED talk on Creativity. Enjoy! Wait! is that Hollywood calling? |

Comments on My undiscovered Amy Tan film
Hey the music is distracting but could you credit/acknowledge the pieces?

Slowboat: yes, you are the only one

People trying to hard to be clever and 'hip!'
@ Magic Dragon, I dont think anyone is trying very hard to do anything in this video other than to have fun, and thats great.
Amy Tan is rightly reviled by Chinese-americans and chinese alike for selling out some weird, chinky image of Chinese culture to push her derivative pulp fiction.
