"Hybrid Identity Crisis" -- "Tre" DVD Release

A journalist named Ben Hamamoto is writing a piece about my latest film " Tre" being a first with its hapa romantic leads (Kim and Daniel), and hapa writers/director (Kim and me). This clip from the DVD bonus features is the best I have ever done explaining how mixed-race identity folds into the layers of meaning in this film and in others like " Charlotte Sometimes" and " Americanese" that deal with sex, race, and relationships. It was actually said in response to a post-screening question about the "raw" sex scenes in " Tre." I talked about "hybrid identity" and then worked my way back to answering the question.
