Heads up, New York. Tze Chun's award-winning debut feature film Children of Invention is making its New York premiere at BAMcinemaFEST, the Brooklyn Academy of Music's inaugural film festival. This is your chance to support Asian American cinema and see a really wonderful indie film.

Writer-director Tze Chun, stars Cindy Cheung, Michael Chen, and
