    Both of the trailers in the Cine Asia screening look amazing!!

    As folks may be aware, I have roles in both films in the Cine-Asia Program: I star in "Lil Tokyo Reporter" and have a supporting role in "Model Minority." Did you also know, both films feature the amazing work of production designer Niko Vilaivongs? Two totally different worlds, in two different eras, in two different genres. Just thought I'd mention.

    See you soon
