SONGS OF THE DRAGONS FLYING TO HEAVEN:

    Asian actresses wanted. Must be able to speak an
    Asian language. I prefer someone with a real Asian
    accent but will cast an Asian-American if her Asian
    accent is REALLY GOOD. Need a good mover who can sing
    and dance and fight and do physical comedy and be funny.
    Age is flexible, but should be able to pass for someone
    in her twenties.
