UK Director Invited to Make Short Film for Beijing Olympics
14/4/2007 12:08

British director Daryl Goodrich, who is famous for the successful promotional film for London's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games, was invited to Beijing yesterday to make a five-minute promotional film for the 2008 Olympic Games.

As part of the "Vision Beijing" film series, the 42-year old director will help shape a green and healthy image of Beijing and its active cultural communications.

A total of five directors will work on the five-episode project. Daryl Goodrich is the third director to have received an invitation, following Italian film master Giuseppe Tornatore and Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi.

At a press conference on Friday in Beijing, director Daryl Goodrich, on his second visit to China, talked about how he would exploit Beijingers' passions for the Olympic Games in such a short time.
