Just one last reminder... New York friends, today's your last chance to win free tickets to my conversation with director Justin Lin, and a screening of Finishing the Game. This Friday, July 20th, come attend the conversation with Justin (along with stars Sung Kang and Roger Fan) at the Kimmel Center at 6:00pm, then catch a screening of Finishing the Game at the Asia Society at 10:00pm. Good times. To enter for your chance to win, simply answer this question: If you made a fake Bruce Lee movie (i.e. "Fists of Fuhrer"), what would be its title? Email me your answer, along with your name, by the end of today. Please be sure to include "AAIFF TICKETS" in the subject line. I'll pick five winners at random, and announce the winners tomorrow. We'll have ourselves a fun evening. Get your entries in!
Speaking of the Asian American International Film Festival, you should know that advance ticket sales close tomorrow, Tuesday, July 17th. It's your last chance to buy tickets before the festival opens on Thursday. Lots of good stuff playing at the festival, so be sure to peruse the schedule here. Also, co-presenter Asia Society has just posted its first piece on Current.TV, featuring directors Socheata Poeuv (New Year Baby) and Joy Dietrich (Tie a Yellow Ribbon), both of whose films will be screened at the festival. And don't forget to vote "yes" on the green button. If we get enough votes, the piece will make it onto the television channel. Oh, you can also check out previously posted videos on a variety of Asian American issues on the Asia Society's YouTube channel. Good stuff.
