Tre arrives unannounced at a secluded mountain home where his friends Gabe and Kakela allow him to crash on their couch. But Kakela becomes increasingly annoyed with Tre when he begins a revenge-fueled sexual affair with her best friend, Nina. As Kakela watches Nina's marriage unravel, she begins to question her devotion to Gabe. Unsure of her motives, she accepts a dare devised by Tre -- a simple 10-second experiment that changes her life forever.

Sexual competition and moral ambiguity are the only constants in Eric Byler's searing follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2003 Independent Spirit Award nominee, "Charlotte Sometimes," the sexy anti-romance celebrated by film critic Roger Ebert as a "breakthrough for Asian American cinema."

"Tre" was co-written by Byler and lead actress Kimberly-Rose Wolter ("Kakela") also featuring Daniel Cariaga, Alix Koromzay and Erik McDowell. Winner of the Special Jury Award at the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival.

Eric Byler is the director of "Tre," "Charlotte Sometimes" (nominated for an Independent Spirit Award) and "Americanese." He is also an APAP board member and a very effective community and political activist. He is currently rallying Asian Americans and Latinos for Barack Obama (www.YouTube.com/UnitedForObama). His YouTube video series on the immigration debate, called 9500Liberty, was a recent front page story in The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/02/AR2007110202158.html)
