San Diego, get ready! Tomorrow, the San Diego Asian Film Festival kicks off. Our friends there have an impressive lineup. "Journey From The Fall" -- Ham Tran's tale of a Vietnamese American family struggles during and after the Vietnam War is playing tomorrow night and is already sold out. Other great stuff: "Punching at the Sun" and "Colma: The Musical" (By the way, we interview the filmmakers of both these films in the next issue of Hyphen, which is coming out any day now.)
Click here for the schedule. The festival continues through the 19th.
Also, Bay Area folks, if you missed Michael Kang's "The Motel" during the SF Asian American International Film Festival here, your chance to see it is coming up.
"The Motel" opens October 20th in San Francisco and Berkeley. It's a quirky coming age story about a boy whose family runs a -- tada -- motel.
