Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I saw a couple of more films. American Zombie and Ang Pamana. We deliberated soon after. We talked for a while, came up with a winner and then some. It’s fun doing this and I can’t announce anything here, sorry. But the experience of talking with Jacqueline and Chris Lee and seeing their opinions from their backgrounds is quite great. They definitely see things from different perspectives and they’re smart about film. Sometimes, I think that’s where you can actually learn something, from listening to people’s opinions who you may never cross in your daily lives. In my case, this was one of those situations. A Hollywood producer who probably rolls hard and deep, and Jacqueline Kim who’s acted in Brokedown Palace to many indies, to TV including Star Trek, and now is making her own. Here we are in the office. We sat and talked maybe an hour. It brought great closure to the 12 films we watched. Eventually, maybe I’ll do some capsule reviews on the films. I’ll upload some other photos and tomorrow night is SCRABBEL.

Saw two films, American Pastime, a Japanese American concentration camp experience film centering around baseball. The showing was a special school showing, so there were tons of kids in the film. Then Baby, a film about gang life in Southern California. Then The Trouble With Romance which features the director who made a short film called Quest for Length featuring Roger Fan (from BLT). Sorry, I’m getting lazy with the links, but I’m not even sure if any of you care. Again, no opinions here. Yet. The first photo was a screening room. Not a pretty one, but it was one. That’s Chris Lee on the right, he produced Superman. He’s also a judge. What do producers do anyway? If you flick thru the pics… you’ll see. Again, Vietnamese food, this time I got to Bodega Bistro on Larkin and Eddy and ate kick ass lettuce wraps with pork, then went to Lee’s – you know what that’s all about. Sammiches… Saw Oreska and 50 Kaitenz, bands from Japan who were on tour from South x Southwest. Both gave up inspiring shows that got fans excited. The last photos are folks I sat with outside of a bar. Tomorrow is the deliberation day, but I have two films before that too.
