It's really nice to have some ppl talked about the current state of arts affairs in Hong Kong, I was never part of Zuni but I think you have done a lot and gain a lot of knowledge over the years in Hong Kong. When I returned to HK from Oversea, that exact date cannot be forgotten. I returned on Sept 11, exact timing for the first plane to crashed in to the World Trade Center; 7ish pm, exactly 12hours different btw HKT and EST. I wanted to comeback to Hong Kong to work in the film industry but after 911, coincident or not that was the beginning of a decline in HK movie industry. And it took Louis Koo how many years later to make one Sci-fi movie in Hong Kong. Now is time to understand sociocultural environments and development on Hong Kong talented creators. Without creatives, speaking of which is it, just all about Hong Kong people who is afraid that things will die, cultural access be vanishing or just money vanished. These 3 things, none of them are important. But you forget to mention, or ask the question, when is the right time and place (in Hong Kong Territory) that things will live, culture thriving and money to becomes earned.
