Question

IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武術(shù)) skills.

Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.

Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.

“It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”

Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (懸念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.

Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.

“She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改編) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”

But Tran also has a big heart. She sold DVD copies of her film The Chase for $10 each to family and friends. She then donated $400 from the DVD sales to her school to buy new computers.
