SFIAAFF 2008
Back home for the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival. Will be doing a Q&A for Blood Brothers as well as a special discussion panel entitled "Crossing Over". Any excuse to be back home makes me happy. Probably will head down to LA on this trip as well. I used to not like the Asian American films just because the subject matter quickly became very stereotypically boring. I mean i really thought Joy Luck Club was an important film but it really killed it for Asian Ams for a while. This year the fest looks to have a very interesting line up. We've got everything from Wayne Wang back to his Asian Am roots with " A Thousand Years of Good Prayers to "Harold and Kumar- Escape From Guantanamo Bay" which I am personally really looking forward to. So if you're in town and down. Swing bye and check it out!

WELCOME HOME!!
For someone who's primary success stems from the hong kong movie market, its great that you still are involved in the asian american film industry.
I'm not a big fan of John Cho but I cannot deny that he's done a lot for mainstream acceptance. The trailers for harold and kumar look pretty funny though.
Have fun! Looking forward to the pics...
hey, how long are you in town for? will you be at the sunday showing of blood brothers? let me know if you're free and want to grab some coffee during the week.
Fun festival!
