Makin Jan Ma as a label

it is a ongoing film project. We make clothes for characters inside the stories. The main character named Guts, a sentimental guy who asks about little things in life. Love is what he concerns most in his life. The story some how starts like this:

I feel a bit uneasy today. It is not the first time having the same feeling. The morning was grey and I scratched the front panel of my bike by hitting on a random frog that jumped out in the middle of the highway. 'Holly shit man! What on earth comes with this random frog?' I feel sorry for him and so as for my bike. I look at the dead body of the frog with the blood dripping out from his left eyeball; my tear came straight from my heart. But I held my tears tight and rode on. I didn't know what I should have done but I knew that standing there crying alone wasn't the solution too. I feel uneasy today.

The stories influence the clothes and the clothes reflects the characters. It is like a testing for a script; a rehearsal for a scene. It is a pool of imagination and practice. Keep meeting more people, people with stories; like a rolling ball of research project. Planning the first short film finished in Sept 07. Let's see.
