This trailer for Lil Tokyo Reporter looks very interesting. The film was inspired by the True Story of Civil Rights Leader Sei Fujii, a man who protected the livelihood of the Japanese American people from 1903-1954.

Lil Tokyo Reporter (trailer)
Millions – trailer (redux)
This trailer for Millions was posted back in November 2012 but as far as I know the first episode has not been released yet. I must say this trailer is very promising and I’m looking forward to this Asian Canadian web series.
She’s Not There (trailer)
This was emailed to me by the director. Check out the trailer for the short film “She’s Not There” directed by Jet Teng. It can also be rented. Unfortunately I cannot embed the trailer here.
But here’s a video of another short film “Adversary” from the same director that he recently finished.
Hang Loose – a movie starring Kevin Wu
Hang Loose is available for digital download for a mere $5. Check out the official site and the trailer below.
PhD The movie!
I’m late on this as this trailer was posted way back in March but now it’s available on dvd and streaming. I read this comic strip a long time ago and only happened to be reminded of it and then came across a *gasp* movie version. PhD which stands for Piled Higher and Deeper is a funny take on grad school life with sinusoidally varying amounts of exaggeration and truth. It was created by Jorge Cham.
Help get The Wedding Palace into theatres!
They have set up an Indiegogo webpage for contributions. I’ve heard some good things about this comedy. The trailer looks really funny and wacky too. Be sure to also read the Koream article which gives some nice background on how the film finally got made.
Finding Kukan
This was passed along to me by Robin Lung. They’ll be be starting a kickstarter campaign to help fund this intriguing project.
“Help us save an important part of Asian American film history! We’re in production on an exciting national PBS targeted documentary about the re-discovery of a lost Oscar-winning film and the Chinese American woman who produced it. See http://findingkukan.com for a video teaser and more information.”
Check out the work in progress teaser.
