I started the night at a filmmakers reception at Lit Lounge, thrown by the good folks of Jeproks. You'll be hearing a lot from them soon. They've got a feature film in post and a TV pilot on the way. Good stuff. 
I was talking to my friends Clarence and Dino at the bar. Clarence had a great idea, sort of a variation on other film fest ideas, but this one is Asian Pacific American. The idea is to get a bunch of movie makers together. We'll each make a movie involving a common plot device, say the number 5, or maybe a midget. As in, the movie would have to star a midget, or make reference to one. (That's Dino's idea.) You get a couple weeks to plan the movie, then a couple weeks to shoot it. Then we'll have a showing/fundraiser/get together and it'll be a lot of fun. So be on the lookout for that. Oh yeah, the APA twist is just that we're Asian, and therefore it's an Asian thing.|*||*|Next it was on to Kabuki for the annual "comedy" shorts program. I guess it's not necessarily all comedy, more of the off-the-wall stuff. There was a short called "Dragon of Love" where an Asian American guy wishes aloud at a bar to hook up with a Black girl. It so happens an attractive Black woman hears him and answers his prayers. What follows is absolutely hilarious. |*||*|I was also there to root on my friends Gayle and Matt, and their movies "Lockjaw" and "Bampinay." One's about a lustful nun, the other about hot murderous vampires. I've seen their movies like five-thousand times, but I still enjoy them. |*||*|If a night like this proves anything, it's that Asian Americans need to keep letting their craziness out. We are pretty crazy.
