I had no feeling about how to shoot, so I will wait, he said.
I have a very rough idea, but its not mature, he said.
The first thing I have to settle [is] my feeling about Hong Kong.

Ive tried many times.
I really want to finish it in the coming three months.
The story is Hong Kong, its people, he said.
The value of life, value of everything changed.
You have to give a shot to learn how to except it.
Its why I cannot finish my movie, he said.
Its not only about the censorship.
Asked on his advice for emerging Hong Kong filmmakers, To replied: Shoot.
If you have a chance to shoot, shoot whatever.
Of course its difficult to find the finance.
There are only two movies in production in Hong Kong this year [in the first quarter].
I have to wait but once it gets underway it will be very quick.
To added he was also in the early stages of development on a third movie project in Taiwan.
I want to take a stab at go out [of Hong Kong].
Not America, its too expensive.
However, To said he would never leave his native Hong Kong for good.
I dont want to.
I like Hong Kong.
