atf: asian task force and bookie screening at comic-con

This weekend, the center of the geek universe is in San Diego for Comic-Con 2008, the annual ultimate gathering of all things comic book/sci-fi/fantasy/ movie-related. There will be a lot going on, but for now I just wanted to inform you of a couple of film screenings happening tomorrow. Particularly, the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. There are actually quite a few films this year involving Asian American talent.

Good reader William Lu informs me that his short action flick ATF: Asian Task Force will be screening on Thursday, July 24, 1:15-2:05pm in Room 26AB at the Convention Center. If you're going to be at Comic-Con, William is actually offering a free limited edition "ATF" embroidered patches for those who attend the screening. You just have to utter the password "angryasian" to him after the screening. Ooh, secret.

Tran Quoc Bao's Bookie will also be playing in the same program. This has been one of my favorite shorts on this year's film festival circuit. I highly recommend checking it out, either Comic-Con or at a future festival screening.
