"Think FULL METAL JACKET restaged as an Asian ghost movie" - Derek Elley, Variety

"It's a little known fact, but during the Vietnam War the Republic of Korea sent in the second largest amount of troops after America. R-POINT - Romeo Point - refers to the once strategically important island south of Ho Chi Minh City that has been cursed for thirty years due to events told in this ghost story pitched somewhere between APOCALYPSE NOW and THE THING. The directing debut of TELL ME SOMETHING screenwriter Kong Su-Chang follows South Korean soldiers into the Vietnamese jungle where a 1972 search for vanished comrades turns terrifying. 'If you have blood on your hands, you can't go back,' reads the unheeded marker on the outskirts of a crumbling temple in this thought provoking shocker combining the potent subtext of war guilt with the Walking Dead." -- FrightFest UK

SAVING FACE Opens August 26 in Honolulu!
Hit Asian American film produced by LVHIFF '05 Juror TEDDY ZEE!

"Alice Wu's debut film is so deft, natural and exquisitely specific, it feels fresh."
-- Carina Chocano, LOS ANGELES TIMES

Come see Alice Wu's debut comedy SAVING FACE, opening August 26 at the Varsity Theatres! Joan Chen (Ma) and Michelle Krusiec (Wilhemina "Wil") are mother and daughter, living in Chinese-dominant neighborhood of Flushing in New York City. Chen overly dotes on her daughter, especially when it comes to finding her a husband. Forced to attend social dances every weekend, Wil is torn by being a dutiful daughter or focus on a career to be a successful surgeon. However, she soon finds someone intriguing in dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen) and they form a nurturing relationship. One day, Wil finds her mother on her doorstep -- and pregnant! Disgraced by the Chinese community, and with nowhere else to go, she moves in with Wil, jeopardizing her budding courtship with the beautiful Lynn.

Produced by Will Smith and Teddy Zee (LVHIFF 2005 Golden Maile Juror), SAVING FACE is a romantic comedy about a daughter struggling to understand her mother's heart, which ultimately leads her to understand her own. With successful screenings in Toronto, Sundance, San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and the Los Angeles Asian American Film & Video Festival, SAVING FACE is a heartfelt and winning comedy about mothers and daughters, Chinese families, and finding love in the most unique places!
