AT YOUR CONvENIENCE
USA 2012 | 22mins
DIRECTOR: Raymond C. Lai
At a neighborhood convenience store run by two best friends, everything is twisted. Starring Randall Park and Dwayne Perkins, this unusual sitcom (originally produced as a Tv pilot)
plays with stereotypes and more, all in front of remarkable CGI environments.
MORE THAN A FACE IN THE CROWD USA 2012 | 25mins
DIRECTOR: Samantha Chan
When Harry Met Sally and The Birds: these two films seem unrelated, but they have one thing in common: actress Jane Chung, film- maker Samantha Chan’s 100-year-old great- aunt. In this witty, curious, and warm-hearted personal journey, Chan explores her aunt’s life and career in more than fifty films and Tv series.
MOTHER AND CHILD
USA 2012 | 5mins | English & Tagalog w/E.S. DIRECTOR: Jocelyn Saddi-Lenhardt Successfully building a life with her young son in the United States, a Filipina woman must reorganize everything to prepare for the return of her traditional husband. Short, precise and poignant, this film masterfully demonstrates the facades that people sometimes build in everyday life.
...OR DIE
USA 2012 | 13mins
DIRECTOR: Gregory Bonsignore
What happens when three brown men pitch their own funny idea to a show producer? What price must they pay to achieve YouTube success? Sarcastically hilarious but at the same time darkly sad, ...Or Die is based on real events.
SCREAMING IN ASIAN
USA 2012 | 11mins
DIRECTOR: Joyce Wu
Facing rude casting agents and indifferent friends, aspiring actress Sophie is plagued with indignities and misfortunes until she finally breaks down. Teeming with frustration and painful truths, Screaming in Asian is still darkly funny.
TAIWANFAMOUS
Taiwan 2012 | 13mins | English & Mandarin w/E.S.
DIRECTORS: Sarah Tadayon, Dave Frazier After a chance appearance on a popular Tai- wanese talk show, Chinese-Iranian-American actress Sarah Tadayon decides to pursue her dreams in Asia.
