Curiosità

Holly is a 2006 drama film directed by Guy Moshe. The film is about an American stolen artifacts dealer in Cambodia who tries to save a young girl from child traffickers. It stars Ron Livingston, Chris Penn, and Thuy Nguyen. Shot on location in Cambodia, it includes many scenes in actual brothels in the notorious red light district of Phnom Penh.

Production

In an interview in 2007, Moshe was inspired by a script by Guy Jacobson which Moshe felt had "tremendous potential". He took the script to his producing partner Nava Levin, who also worked on the film with him.

The film was shot at a 200 ASA filming speed to make a unique grain structure and contrasted color. Moshe said that the film was very hard to produce, due to the fact that there were multiple languages being spoken, shooting six-day weeks, 17-hour days, in 100 degree Fahrenheit, and some of the cast members had received food poisoning.
