“Hi from Shanghai!” No, I’ll never get tired of saying that. I made my short film Nanjing Road as a valentine to Shanghai. There are many fantastic films about Shanghai, but a city can never have too many lovers (can’t say the same about a**hole guys who dump you). I love this city! In this blogella (short blog) I chronicle the making of Nanjing Road so come back to nanjingroad.mer-chan.com for deleted scenes, production notes and other updates. Many thanks to Film Independent and Mer-chan for making this happen!
