Guess who called me yesterday at work…
Yunjin Kim! (a.k.a. Sun from Lost)
She is contributing her voice to my “Asian Americans in Entertainment” piece I am working on.
Actually she was a bit late calling me - about 30 minutes late. But that’s okay. I mean, c’mon it’s SUN from LOST! You can’t get mad at her!
So [...]

I am working on a story for work that explores the “new wave of Asian Americans in entertainment.” Yeah, I know it doesn’t sound that groundbreaking because it’s been covered like a million times, but once I get all my interviews in line I am going to flesh out a better angle.
Anyways, I’ve already interviewed [...]

If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky, lift your spirits type of movie then Santa Mesa is for you! Wait a second, no it isn’t. It’s honestly kind of depressing - but don’t let that dissuade you. Sometimes we need a good cry to make us smile.

Is it me, or have I been blogging A LOT about John Cho lately? I think I have been.

Okay. That was a total joke.
It just so happens that he [...]

Yesterday after the Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay screening, actor John Cho was nice enough to do a Q&A with the audience. I felt special because I already interviewed him one-on-one a while back along with Harold & Kumar creators, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (click here to refresh your memory).
Wasn’t that really [...]

I am a fan of film. I also happen to be Asian American. That said, to support my brethren and some great motion pictures, I am going to do some postings on the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (which lasts until March 23).
