    The genesis for the "Emperor" project was we wanted to do a practice movie, with absolutely no money, at our own time, using any and every available resource around us, and utilizing both Malaysia and Germany (where Julie is from) as locations.

    So we kept the premise simple; an action-chase movie, where one guy runs around getting chased by the mob.
