UPDATE: "THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI"

04/30/08) Director Roger Spottiswoode talks about the complication during filming in China:
"You can't get dailies (quickly processed footage of the previous day's shoot) in China, the labs aren't very good, so we processed in Melbourne. The film was shipped back as DVD but they censor everything, so of course the DVDs never arrive or take months to arrive. "You finish shooting before you see any dailies, but my editor, Geoff Lamb, would cut away at Digital Pictures and within a day everything I'd shot the day before he would have edited and put it up as a podcast. All the way through the shoot, no matter how remote we were, I at least was seeing cut film all the way through."
