sundance 2009 portraits

I was just flipping through a couple of entertainment magazines, looking at coverage at the Sundance Film Festival... and noticed, without surprise, that there weren't too many Asian faces in the mix, except for mentions of hipster comedy darling Charlyne Yi, producer/writer/star of Paper Heart, and Ryan Shiraki, director of the comedy Spring Breakdown.

Thus, I thought it would be nice to showcase some of the Asian American folks who took photos at the Sundance portrait studio, like I did last year. They're good photos, and I doubt you'll see these anywhere else. So here you go (they're big photos):


Tzu Chun, director of Children of Invention


Cindy Cheung, star of Children of Invention

Crystal Chiu, star of Children of Invention
