"But that is perhaps understandable on a budget of about $650 (?420), almost all of which was spent renting a room at the same hotel in Hong Kong where the US fugitive stayed."
Wiseman, Andreas. "US heavyweights circle Edward Snowden film rights." Screen Daily. 25 September 2013. Retrieved on 17 October 2013. "But both Doering and Hollywood were beaten to a film about Snowden by Verax, a five-minute video made for about $550, which has drawn more than 270,000 views on YouTube. The short, produced by the group J.Shot Videos, documents Snowden's three-week stay in the Far East and includes a large degree of creative licence while depicting imagined meetings at the Pentagon,〔ママ〕 and between Chinese and Hong Kong security services. Verax stars Andrew Cromeek, an American school teacher in Hong Kong who bears an uncanny resemblance to Snowden." - NOTE: The summary mistakes the CIA meeting for being a meeting at the Pentagon.
