A Fair Sister, 8min., USA
Directed by Matt LaCorte
Two sisters meet up and share secrets.

Get to know screenwriter Ray Chang:

1. What motivated you to make this film?
I wanted to explore the grey areas of having and affair and also what love is. Life is not black and white. Can an affair actually strengthen relationships? Is sibling love greater than life partner love? Is there a difference between sex and love? And if you say yes, and most of you will, why can't a healthy relationship have a sexually charged one on the side. If your partner is not interested in sex but is an amazing partner in life, is it so wrong to "self care" and find someone else to have sex with? I don't offer answers, only questions.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
In this day and age, with the equipment and technology, it should not take long. That said, I do think it's important to have something to say. or ask good questions. if there is substance behind your film and why you want to make it, it'll not seem long at all. And who cares. I've been on big films that literally finished editing days before a huge nationwide release and I've seen things sit and stew forever.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!? She didn't?!?!

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Bad excuses. No time. No money. Procrastinating the promotion of this film. I just want to get on set and create.

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? It was the most satisfying part of this festival, seeing film pros get it.

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films? When I

7. What film have you seen the most in your life? Cinema Paradiso.

8. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career? I would love to get together with other filmmakers and work as a team ala Sundance Film Lab. Can you get together a bunch of creatives in Toronto? Get an airline and a hotel to get us there and put us up. We can spend a couple weeks together creating.

9. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site? This is a great way to do the festival thing. I love it.

10. What is your favorite meal? I had the best meal ever in a Chinese Monastery, all vegan (I'm not vegan at all). It blew me away that there could be so many tasty things without meat being the center of the meal.

11. What is next for you? A new film? American Sons, a feature that I'm producing will be shot in spring time. "A Priest, A Rabbi, A Bhukkhu and an Imam Walk Into a Diner..." is a fun documentary that I'm directing about human connection. I've got two daughters who just graduated from college and are in show business, I expect to be helping them on their projects as well.
