I’m thrilled to announce that I received my Australia 408 Entertainment working visa yesterday!
This incredible milestone means our project, Melodies of the Abyss, is officially set in motion. With this visa, I'm finally able to work on-site in Australia, diving deep into the creative process and collaborating closely with our talented team. The potential of this project is immense, and I can't wait to see how it evolves with our collective efforts. With this visa in hand, I'll be able to fully contribute my skills and passion, ensuring that Melodies of the Abyss becomes a groundbreaking work of art.
The Backstory: A Twist in the Tale
Inspired by a true event that shocked the world in the 90s, I wrote a screenplay that I initially planned to shoot in the United States. I reached out to a few producers in LA, all of whom were interested. However, my Hollywood mentors reminded me that, as a non-US citizen, I needed an O1 Entertainment working visa to shoot in the US. Despite my background, the O1 Visa process would take quite some time. At that moment, it felt like the end of the world—my dream of shooting in the States vanished just like that.
Of course, Some Chinese producers in LA suggested shooting without the visa, but that's a topic for another blog.
My mentor then suggested Australia, where the 408 Entertainment working visa is a comparatively easier option. He introduced me to a few friends there, and now, here we are, working on my short film. Additionally, an old friend in Australia who runs a production company loved my script and decided to produce it.
