Dear fans
Sunday, November 19, 2006
It was an average of minus 15 up in the fjords of Norway (Svalbard to be exact) but True North was an incredible shoot. It was an unparalleled experience because the locations were so beautiful and logistically challenging. Thanks to my producer Bertrand Faivre and my director Asif Kapadia for providing me with experiences to last a lifetime. To the Norwegian crew who worked their butts off and showed me what Norwegian spirit is really about - skol. To the remaining cast and crew survivors of True North - you all are indomitable and I love you for it.
Love,
Michelle

Dear Actress,
I just recently saw your movie Saving Face and I liked your performance, it was very convincing and the story was very funny and I congratulate you and co-workers
The most striking & strange situation is that I am a medical doctor, gay and in love with a ballerina and we met in an afterclass program in new york where she teaches and I went there to take classes of salsa dancing in an adult program...i decided to do it because i'm a horrible dancer and she laughs when I try to dance, but I'll get there... is hilarious to see the familiarity in the situation, because I'm shy and in the closet, officialy I'm a loner, nobody knows cause I don't tell, my mother & family denies it(I haven't tell them but I know that they know)and I try to hide my emotions about it; but my primaballerina got it just looking at me when I was looking at her, it was impossible not to see her, she is a wonderful dancer and beautiful.... no....she's gorgeous...jejeje...I'll stop but she is increadible...and like in the movie I love hot dogs!!! I eat one almost everyday...I know is not healthy but I can't help it, I'm New Yorker
When I saw the movie it was like I was seeing my self on the screen.
But another thing happened, I just discovered a good actress!!!
I promise that I'll continue seen your movies if you continue giving good performances.
Hope good things for next year, and thanx for the photos in Norway, is a beautiful country...
The best is for yet to come... - At 29/11/06 21:50, said...

Wow, great pics! You look exuberant....in the pictures! ^^
I have wanted to go to the north since I heard about the Blue Lagoon of Iceland. Also would like to explore the Scandinavian Peninsula. Sure wanted to experience the Aurora Borealis, too.
I just get myself the 'Saving Face' DVD. I adore your performance in the character of Wil. I think I must be totally out of the world while the movie's screening in Taiwan. I couldn't believe that I'd missed it!!!
So, wish to see your new film and hopefully will see you back to Taiwan very soon!
BTW, it's amazing to see the message from 'peter abraham'. I am not a truely Yankees fan, but I do watch EVERY game with SP of Wang. Are you interested in baseball? - At 30/11/06 07:38, said...

Hi Michelle,
I recently become your big fan since I bought the DVD "saving face"
You're really a great actress,saving face without you might become not so special and just a tranditional the "Chinese lesbian movie"(maybe female “喜宴“ kind ).
Just cannot sleep and get up to see your movie again and really happy to find this blog.
Will always cheer for you~︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
I'm from Taiwan with the "broken" English,hope you can read it

Hey, I just wanted to tell you something I found kinda funny. There's a Korean girl in my study period. She's a senior (and I'm a lowly Sophomore, lol) but the way she dressed and how she had her hair up looked exactly like Wil, lol. Even the way she talked sorta sounded like you. Since it was only second period, and I wake up at 5 AM every morning for school (and just got over being sick), I was trippin' when I heard her talking, lol. I was watching Saving Face the night before, so it just hit me really hard, you know? I'm getting sick again (OMG! another week of being sick) and had I still been sick, I would've been trippin' out even more. LMFAO!
