Principal photography just wrapped in Bangkok, Thailand for the film, Formosa Betrayed, which could be released under the title, "Formosa" in the west. After Nicholas Snow worked on the film as an actor, he returned with a camera crew so he can share news of this movie with the world. In this segment, Writer, Producer and Actor Will Tiao, Director Adam Kane, Production Designer Anthony Stabley and star Wendy Crewson (The 6th Day, Air Force One, Away From Her) share a bit about the film and their experiences making a movie in Thailand. The film has many stars, including James Van Der Beek of Dawson's Creek fame; Wendy Crewson from The 6th Day and Air Force One; and Leslie Hope most known for her role as Jack Bauer's wife in season one of the riveting television series, 24. ABOUT THE PLOTLINE, BASED UPON A TRUE STORY: "In the early 1980's, a small-town detective (James Van Der Beek) is assigned to investigate the murder of a respected professor. Through his investigation, he unearths a spider web of international secrets that have been thriving within college campuses across America for decades. His investigation takes him across the Pacific to the island nation of Taiwan, where with the help of the outspoken widow and an unlikely spy, he learns that the professor's killing was not a random act, but a desperate move by scandalous government intent on keeping its nefarious activities under wraps." WHY BANGKOK? Yes, in Formosa Betrayed, Bangkok is being used as Taiwan, so when the controversy breaks about this movie, you'll know why. The synopsis continues, "Our detective soon finds himself on a collision course against the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and the Nationalist Chinese Government—in a land where the truth is not what it seems and the only people he can trust cannot be trusted at all."
