	Mina Shum drives on TAKE ONE - Find Articles
		I felt like a general at war." Vancouver director Mina Shum--who brought us the much-praised comedy Double Happiness--is audibly excited as she recalls shooting the car-chase sequence in her latest film, Drive, She Said.
		Straight-laced Nadine (Moira Kelly) and her captor-cum-lover Tass (Josh Hamilton) are on the run, pursued by an indefatigable motorcycle cop.
		Shum is not headed for a career in action movies; she's simply relishing "stepping out on a limb." The technical challenges are mentioned casually, with a nod to the difficulties of working with an overall production budget of about $2 million, but the real charge for her comes from something else.

	Long Life, Happiness, And Prosperity \| The A.V. Club
		Director Mina Shum (Double Happiness) originally conceived the sticky magical-realist fable Long Life, Happiness, And Prosperity as three short films, until she realized they were all interconnected.
		Designed as a love letter to the Chinese-Canadian community in Shum's native Vancouver, the film gets wrapped up in the cheesy exoticism of charms, potions, and fortune-tellers, but beneath it all lies a pedestrian slice of life, cursed by sitcom zingers and a weakness for confectionery sugar.
		As if there were any doubt, Shum straightens things out exactly as expected, content in her role as the benevolent hand of God.
