Yeah, it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I made film. That’s me with the shorter hair, in the back row, that’s my cousin Mike next to me with the shortest hair in 1997. Our film Sunsets played the festival in SF, and I think that’s where this shot was taken. That’s Chris Chan Lee on the left. He just came out with Undoing and made Yellow. Justin Lin next to him who made Shopping for Fangs and as you know many other films, including Fast and Furious 3, Rea Tajiri smiling – she made Strawberry Fields and lives on the east coast. Quentin Lee who co-made Shopping for Fangs on the bottom right. He’s still trucking along in cinema. Cousin Mike Idemoto was the lead in Charlotte Sometimes, and is slowly working on film projects. You can imdb search all of these folks to see what’s going on in their lives. It was a great time in 1997 – 11 years ago… I’m proud to say I was there, and it was the genesis of the current “wave” of Asian American films. Sunsets is all but forgotten now, the kids who are turning out feature projects on hi-def video have no idea what sound sync 16mm is all about. The BS we went through is still around for sure, but it’s a little bit better for everyone, I’m glad to have a part in that. Here’s where that link exists.

Asian American magazines... yea, it's a tough genre, and there's others than what get mentioned in this article, but in the end, it's the same old story. Will we survive? Will we all go to shit? It says we've been around forever, but it doesn't make us sound much better than the rest. Straight.com
Maybe the true story is to figure out why we're still around "forever." Good luck Canucks.

Awesome mannequin head. The crappy facial drawing does it all, and the fact that there's no headgear of any sort makes this funny. It's neck is also dirty. Why is it that a dirty neck is just disgusting? Dirt on your face, hands, and almost anywhere can work if you're doing ditch digging, but something about the neck, just kills it.
Arty style. I hope the young artists of today can bring this look...

Why is it that a dirty neck is just disgusting? Dirt on your face, hands, and almost anywhere can work if you’re doing ditch digging, but something about the neck, just kills it. Arty style. I hope the young artists of today can bring this look back. Their art would be so much better. If their face looked like this, it could be cool too. Do you think one needs to be tall to pull of this face and hat? Imagine if this person was 5 feet, would it work? I don’t know why but Starbucks, has these ads, and it uses an Asian dude sitting in a field. What’s he doing? Is he waiting for his morning poo after drinking coffee? Maybe he’s happy because he just unloaded one in the field. Fill me in on this one. Rainbows are still nice, even though some people including U of H didn’t approve of it for their team name. Rain with the sun out. Pretty cool.
