I'm an independent documentary filmmaker, as well as a professional writer and translator. I was born and educated in the US, but am now living in China. The rest of our team is a diverse mix of folks, but we all speak Chinese, and we all know China.
Charles,
I watched your short video and have made a contribution and am interested in communicating with you directly. I am an American and long time resident of China (15+years) and am currently writing a series of novels, one of deals very intimately with the subject of your documentary. I would like to see if there is an opportunity for us to collaborate. I might be interested in backing your project further, and I am also aware of a charitable fund that might be willing to provide assistance as well. Wasn't able to locate your email. Please contact me at MulletTales @gmail.com; MulletTales(at)gmail.com. Thanks.
Dear Charles,
I came across your documentary online and I'm really impressed by what I've seen. I'm a student of East Asian Studies and writing my Master's Thesis on human trafficking prevention in China. Since you are working on this issue, I would like to ask if it's possible to interview on your work? I tried to find your email address but didn't, I send mine to you here: katri.m.kinnunen(at)gmail.com
I would really appreciate the change to interview you!
Best regards,
Katri Kinnunen
