What a phenomenal year it’s been!!! This time last year, we hadn’t screened our finished film anywhere. No one had written about our film. So considering the year we’ve had, I wanted to take a moment to express my extreme gratitude to you all for making this journey possible… We had […]
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to screen A Lot Like You at the 30th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival in March 2012!! We couldn’t be happier to have our Bay Area premiere be with SFIAAFF, and will be sure to keep you posted with screening […]
