BEY LOGAN GETS JOB; GOES SHOPPING
The all-around Hong Kong Kid, Bey Logan (author of "Hong Kong Action Cinema", writer of THE MEDALLION and GEN-X COPS, producer of THE TWINS EFFECT, actor in CIRCUS KID, guy who did something undefinable with Media Asia and Hong Kong rep for Arclight Films) has a new job as the Weinstein Company's Asian rep.
His official title is VP of Acquisitions and Co-Productions and he'll unleash his Mandarin to help put together co-production deals (like KILL BILL enjoyed) and scoop up Asian titles (Arclight is involved with SHA PO LANG -- does this mean it'll go to the Weinstein Company?).
Prediction: Bey Logan has a big personality. Harvey Weinstein has a big personality. I expect a year of some brilliance followed by the announcement that Bey has moved on to bigger and better. But it'll probably be a pretty good year, and from the sounds of this article I get the feeling that Harvey and Bros. will be doing some pretty heavy duty shopping at the Asian movie supermarket to build up their library.

Directed by- Sridhar Rangayan
Jury Award for Best Feature - Fire Island, NY, USA
Best Film of the Festival - Lille, FRANCE
Synopsis:
Men bring out the best in queens… and sometimes the worst.
When two bitchy drag queens and a sly gay teenager lust after a handsome hunk… can seduction, jealousy and cunning be far behind? A hilarious comedy replete with bitchiness and camp humour set a la Bollywood.
Apart from being a drag romp, the film is an exposition of the Indian gay / transgender landscape, the humanly tender bonds between drag queens in India who form unique, non-patriarchal families and the lurking impact of HIV/AIDS.
The film draws interesting comparisons between indigenous Indian Drag Queens who are a vanishing clan and the contemporary young gays of Bombay city’s queer culture with borrowed western gay identity.
