Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Hey Wayne! I met Wayne Wang and we hit it off like old friends. Why? Maybe because he's read GR, and been to the stores in SF, and in LA. Or maybe he's just a good guy. Most people probably have no idea who he is walking on the street. But he's Wayne Frickin Wang and he made Chan is Missing, the prototypical Asian American film.

Hey Wayne! I met Wayne Wang and we hit it off like old friends. Why? Maybe because he’s read GR, and been to the stores in SF, and in LA. Or maybe he’s just a good guy. Most people probably have no idea who he is walking on the street. But he’s Wayne Frickin Wang and he made Chan is Missing, the prototypical Asian American film. These photos are backwards, the last is first. I did about 6 interviews tonite, no water breaks, and my throat is shot… but each were pretty decent. It went straight from maybe 9 something to almost 1 am. Some, I didn’t even know the person or their work, and still pulled of decent work. I think I’m at least okay at this on camera interview work. Myleen the great on live.yahoo.com. She’s a little faded looking. Brian and Lisa who can write themselves in or out of anything. Chi-hui the man who can pump all the water of the gorges when he’s mad. You wouldn’t like him when he’s mad. PCP’s art Wicked Wayne showing how he’ll crush your skull.

Back home for the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival. Will be doing a Q&A for Blood Brothers as well as a special discussion panel entitled “Crossing Over”. Any excuse to be back home makes me happy. Probably will head down to LA on this trip as well. I used to not like the Asian American films just because the subject matter quickly became very stereotypically boring. I mean i really thought Joy Luck Club was an important film but it really killed it for Asian Ams for a while. This year the fest looks to have a very interesting line up. We’ve got everything from Wayne Wang back to his Asian Am roots with ” A Thousand Years of Good Prayers to “Harold and Kumar- Escape From Guantanamo Bay” which I am personally really looking forward to. So if you’re in town and down. Swing bye and check it out!
