reminder: big fat dvd giveaway

Just wanted to remind you all that the Big Fat DVD Giveaway is still on. I'll be accepting entries until the end of today. One lucky reader will receive a huge DVD prize pack of recent Asian American film festival favorites: Justin Lin's Finishing the Game, Ham Tran's Journey From the Fall, Desmond Nakano's American Pastime, Chris Chan Lee's Undoing and Richard Wong's Colma: The Musical. Good stuff, right?

But that's not all. The prize pack will also include a huge, random assortment of (unopened) DVDs I've amassed over the last few years, which includes some Jackie Chan movies, Asian horror, anime, as well as some really scattered stuff. Basically, my DVD collection has grown too large and cluttered to handle, and I'm trying to get rid of my junk. It can all be yours!

To enter for your chance to win, you'll have to do a little research, and answer the following questions:
1. In addition to numerous independent Asian American films, veteran filmmaker Wayne Wang has directed several big-budget Hollywood movies. Name the one starring Jennifer Lopez.

2. In what city did director Ron Morales shoot his debut feature Santa Mesa?

3. In addition to directing the indie drama Never Forever, Gina Kim has taught as a visiting lecturer at what ivy-league university. Name the school.
You can dig for answers in the interviews on The Director's Chair website. Email me your answers, along with your name and mailing address, by the end of today—Monday, July 21. Be sure to include "BIG FAT DVD GIVEAWAY" clearly written in the subject line. I'll throw all the correct entries in a hat, then pick one lucky winner. There can only be one! Good luck.
