Just a reminder... I'm giving away free tickets to attend my talk with director Justin Lin, and see his latest film Finishing the Game at the Asian American International Film Festival next week in New York. On Friday, July 20th, sit in on 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. It's going to be a fun time. 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 Monday, July 16th. Please be sure to include "AAIFF TICKETS" in the subject line. I'll pick five winners at random, and you'll be set. We'll have ourselves a fun evening. But you gotta be in it to win it!
Speaking of Justin, he informs that he recently took part in a Sundance Film Festival initiative to create short films for your mobile phone: Global Short Film Project. Justin's film is this weird little short called ¡La Revolucion de Iguodala!. He says it's one of his favorite things he's worked on during his post-BLT success. Fans of his work might recognize a few of Justin's regular players, as well as music from the Far East Movement. To download the short to your phone, follow the instructions here. There's also a brief interview with Justin here. And if your phone is old and busted, and can't play videos, you can watch the short on here (though it's kind of low res and formatted incorrectly).
