Question: Do both films, Reducing (film) and Blood Letter (film), have the directors who are from the same country?

One of the most expensive Vietnamese films ever made," Blood Letter" is considered the first film of its kind, Kiem Hiep( Sword fighter Adventures) in Vietnam. It was released theatrically in Vietnam on January 20, 2012 by Megastar Media. The film was going to be the official submission for Vietnam to the 86th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. Blood Letter, also released as Sword of the Assassin, is a 2012 Vietnamese martial arts action fantasy directed by Victor Vu, produced by Phuong Nam Films and Saiga Films, in association with BHD. However, on 19 September 2013, the National Cinema Department announced that the film did not meet the AMPAS criteria for distribution. <SEP> Jack Shea (August 1, 1928 – April 28, 2013) was an American film and television director. He was the president of the Directors Guild of America from 1997 to 2002. <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> Along with critical acclaims, news media and public opinion have also accused Vu of plagiarism. Victor Vu is a controversial Vietnamese-American film director, writer and producer who won awards while also embroiled in plagiarism controversies. In Vietnam's landmark first official plagiarism investigation, Vietnamese regulators found Vu's film "Inferno" to have copied Hollywood's 1991 film Shattered. This resulted in "Inferno's" disqualification from Vietnam's Golden Kite Awards. Vu called a press conference to try misinform Vietnamese public that in Hollywood, such identical similarities are the obligatory result of using Hollywood filmmaking method. <SEP> Charles Reisner( March 14, 1887 – September 24, 1962) was an American film director and actor of the 1920s and 1930s.
