Once pitched a movie idea to former Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea (Brother Number Two) at his home near Pailin, Cambodia offering to teach him how to make his own first person video diary/documentary. Nuon Chea declined, citing his distaste for the press and media. His neighbor Khieu Samphan (Brother Number Four) the next day expressed interest, but the project could not continue due to the impending Khmer Rouge trials.
