Japan. I had been there a few times and communicated with a few friends there on occasion, but I’d not ever tried doing an interview without sitting in front of the interviewee which made my request for an interview with Hyoe a little bit of a challenge. The time difference aside, the real challenge was battling both of our ever juggling schedules. I even installed the famed SKYPE on my machine with the hopes that we’d somehow coordinate a video chat. Grr. No..between my computer refusing to cooperate and the time (or lack thereof!), it wasn’t meant to be. Screw it..I went old school..and it turns out to have worked like a charm. I actually learned a great deal about Hyoe in our email “sit down"…

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I saw the lineup...especially with Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III, Live Free, Die Hard) thrown into the mix. I was quite anxious however to see Andy Lau’s (House of Flying Daggers) performance as well as Sammo Hung’s, mostly cause I hadn’t seen Sammo on screen in quite awhile.
