According to Sook Yin Lee’s Myspace Blog production on her feature film directorial debut started yesterday. Year of the Carnivore is shooting in Maple Ridge, B.C.
“I’m learning a lot. Normally I make little movies with my friends in our houses, but this is a much larger undertaking, we even have a transportation unit and a preproduction facility with a parking lot attendant who operates a gate!
I can’t yet reveal who the actors are until all the leads are confirmed, but I must say, this cast rocks. My crew is top notch too. After years of writing this story, I can’t believe it’s actually becoming a reality. I’m excited and I’m scared. It’s one of the biggest undertakings of my life. I was talking to my best friend Jooj the other night, when he gave me this simple advice: make something beautiful.”
While Sook-Yin may be uncomfortable revealing details some are available at the website of Screen Siren Pictures
Year of the Carnivore is a bittersweet comedy, a coming-of-age story about a girl with an unrequited crush on a boy who thinks she’s bad in bed, so she goes out to get more “experience”.
