This is for all my people in the Bay Area. The Center for Asian American Media invites you to CAAMFest, an eleven-day celebration of film, music, food and digital media form the world’s most innovative Asian and Asian American artists. It's all going down March 14-24. Two weeks to go, I'm giving away some free tickets! First, here's a fun video teaser for the festival:
So, wanna win some tickets? I'm giving away two pairs of tickets to the following screenings:
Sunset Stories
Ernesto Foronda, Silas Howard
Narrative / USA / 2012 / Narrative / 90 mins / English / Color / HDCAM*
Two ex-lovers reluctantly reunite to retrieve a lost container of invaluable goods in this electric ramble across Los Angeles, starring Monique Gabriela Curnen (Finishing the Game; The Dark Knight) and Sung Kang (Fast and Furious; The Motel).
Someone I Used to Know
Nadine Truong
Narrative / USA / 2013 / 79 mins / English / Color / HDCAM

The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Mira Nair
Special Presentations / India, Pakistan, USA / 2012 / 128 mins / English, Urdu with English subtitles
A boldly dramatic adaptation of a remarkable, timely novel, Mira Nair's The Reluctant Fundamentalist promises to be one of the most talked about films of the year.
