Yim is a strong, silent type. He stands over six feet tall with a build to match, and eats by himself during very short breaks in the shooting schedule. His previous work in China encouraged him to take on Pavilion in spite of a demanding shooting schedule. I like working in China. I think it s great.
People tend to be more focused when they re working in China.
The concept of the film seduced me. I like the historical backdrop. The long days and tight budget of the film have taken their toll on the film crew. The banquet scene is the second of a twelve-day shooting stretch with no scheduled rest. Some production assistants complain of not being paid, and state that some of the crew already left when they were not paid on time.
