The 29th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF) has announced their programming! This annual event is the largest and most prestigious of its kind and we often look to them for inspiration and advice (just like an older sibling). This stellar event is taking place March 10-20, 2011 — check it out if you can!
We are thrilled to announce SUITE SUITE CHINATOWN, our special commissioned project from 2010 Reel Asian will be making a tour stop in San Francisco on March 14 with Directors Heather Keung, Aram Siu Wai Collier, Lillian Chan in attendance and Toronto-based composer Arthur Yeung performing with local San Fran musician Jack Tong.
