Hi Everyone

Ping Pong Playa opened this weekend in LA, NY and SF to warm reception. It was such joy to sit with a laughing audience. Even though I have watched the film many times, each time I will always be pleasantly surprised by a joke or a moment that cracks me up. Thumbs up to Jessica and Jimmy's wonderful collaboration.

If you have not seen this film, don't wait, run and grab a friend, we need your support. I guarantee you will catch a few good laughs!

talk soon

Hi Everyone

If you are going to be in LA on May 1st, please come and support Ping Pong Playa.
This is Jessica Yu's (Oscar winning documentary director) feature directorial debut. Jimmy Tsai, who is the star ( as C Dub) of the film, is both the writer and lead actor . This is also his debut as a writer and actor - what a power house collaboration! This movie tackles themes about rites of passage, following one's dream versus familial obligation and Asian American identity -  a guaranteed a fun ride. I am lucky enough to play Mrs. Wang, C Dub's "Ex Ping Pong Champion" mom. Please visit http://www.vconline.org/festival/ for more info. Hope to see you there!

   Is it April already? Didn't we just celebrated CNY? Time sure flies. Perhaps I am having too much fun. Have been teaching a lot lately. It was refreshing to see the passion and commitment of these young actors - so focus on their dreams. I feel like they are teaching me more than I am teaching them. Look forward to reuniting with a group of amazing childhood friends in Scotland in October -  my dear "HK lo yau gehs"  from MSS days. So it's only April... happy April fools day everyone!
