D3's MOST RECENT ADVENTURE!!!  (OCTOBER 2011
)
The D3 crew recently got back from northeast China where we shot Riding Rails in China, Part 2. The show takes two American travelers, Chris and Sarah, to China on a trip via the Chinese railway system from Beijing to three major cities in northeast China. They travel to Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin. The program is a follow up to Riding Rails in China where two Americans rode the Chinese rails to southern China in 2004.
 
IN POST PRODUCTION

We are currently editing Searching for Roots in Canton (2012) which follows a Chinese American, Nathan, and a Chinese-African American, Alana, with their mentor, Al Cheng to Canton (Guangzhou), China to search for their ancestral homes. In the land of the famous watchtower diaolous, they discover a history they never knew and experience profound revelations about their purpose and place in the world.

  STAY TUNED FOR TV AIRING DATES OF 3 RECENTLY COMPLETED SHOWS:
Kung Fu Master: Zhao Jianying (2011) is a one hour HD documentary about Zhao Jianying, an 86 year old Kung Fu Master.  As a child she suffered severe illness, until one day a soldier noticed how sick she was and offered to teach her Kung Fu, an art form that literally saved her life.  Though she was a girl and it was uncommon at that time for girls to learn Kung Fu, it was her passion for Kung Fu that shaped her life.

Musical Journey Through Xinjiang (2011) takes two San Francisco Bay Area musicians, Chris and Kate on a  journey to China to discover the music and instruments of Xinjiang, China. They meet musicians of Xinjiang, tour the beautiful terrain, and eat Xinjiang cuisine. Chris and Kate create new musical compositions based on their experiences in Xinjiang which are shared with the viewing audience. (60 minutes, filmed in HD)

 
Yunjin Brocade Master (2011) features Master Zhou Shuangxi, the "Heir to Yunjin Brocade". Master Zhou explains how the ancient art form has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation. Yunjin Brocade was once only fit for a Chinese emperor, weaved with fine silks and threads made from  peacock feathers and real gold. Today, Yunjin Brocade is on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List and continues to be preserved, cherished, and modernized by the Nanjing Brocade Research Institute in Nanjing, China. The attention to detail and time consuming processes to make a Yunjin Brocade garment is a collaborative effort. The reproduction of ancient designs and the creation of new ones are all done by hand, from the making of the silk, gold and peacock threads to the knotting and weaving process. The weaver's hands are the last to touch the creation. One slip up will ruin a garment worth thousands of dollars. How does Master Zhou and other Yunjin Brocade weavers do it?  (60 minutes, filmed in HD)
