'A-Town Boyz' examines Asian American gang life in Atlanta

Feature documentary raising post-production funds.



Here's an interesting film project that could use your crowdfunding help... A-Town Boyz, directed by Eunice Lau, is a feature documentary about the lure of gang life for Asian American men in Atlanta. Capturing a diversity of immigrant experiences, the film challenges the model minority myth, revealing the problems they face as first and second-generation immigrants, such as poverty, discrimination and invisibility.

Four years in the making, A-Town Boyz counts none other than executive producer Spike Lee as one of its supporters. The project is making its crawl towards the finish line, and is raising funds to lock down a final cut, enter the film festival circuit and eventually get the documentary out there for people to see.
