The spy who came in from Hawaii

Enjoy a fictional short film of Edward Snowden's days in Hong Kong written by Edwin Lee and Marcus Tsui.

Here is what the film crew has to say about the making of:

'The idea was hatched two days after he revealed his identity, and principal filming began on June 20th. We were also filming on the same day (23rd) when we learned Snowden had left the city. 

Therefore we ramped up production efforts and published our short film "Verax" on the 25th. "Verax" was the alias Snowden used when contacting journalists via encrypted chat services. 

We loved the idea of having Snowden here and the media frenzy it created. We really wanted to make a film based on such real-life news events, especially as it continued to develop. This project really tested our mettle especially when most of us had day jobs.'
