Congratulations for Nanking
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Congratulations to Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman for winning an EMMY
for BEST HISTORICAL PROGRAMMING with their documentary film NANKING.
I was privileged to be a part of the film and delighted to work with
Bill on this incredible project. For those of you who would like to
watch the film for free, check out SnagFilms.com. The event is tragic
but filled with moving details about the massacred and the brave.

Lynn Chen's Guest Post: White on Rice
Tuesday, September 08, 2009
Lynn Chen, one of my favorite onscreen lovers, has a new film coming out! It features both Lynn and Los Angeles pal James Kyson Lee. Please check out their new film - WHITE ON RICE. Lynn's doing a GUEST POST! Also, FYI, she sings in the movie, so all you Lynn fans are gonna melt.
Hello Everyone!
Starting this weekend my movie “White on Rice” opens in limited release – it’s a comedy I acted in over two summers ago, had an amazing time making, and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. The official site with trailer and complete info is at: www.whiteonricethemovie.com.
Getting an indie film into movie theaters these days is no easy feat and our success depends largely on our friends, families, and community being involved during opening weekend. If you or people you know live in one of the areas where “White on Rice” will play (see below), please support us by purchasing a ticket and encouraging others to as well!
If you’ve already seen the movie at a film fest or sneak preview (thank you!) I’d appreciate it if you would actively spread the word – every ticket helps our chances of expanding across the country. We don’t have a big budget for marketing so we rely heavily on word-of-mouth - chat us up at parties, email your friends, twitter, facebook, message boards, etc….
Here are the theaters we’re starting out in – for each one, we are booked for about one week, and will hopefully extend our stay if we do well at the box office.
