Our visit to Hunter College in NYC! Tonight we went to go speak at Hunter College in NYC. We had an amazing time connecting with and meeting all the students. It was kinda cool cause it was our first "Official" stop on our national Grassroots tour. Sung, Julie, Josh and I made it there first. Traffic sucked though. Justin showed up about 15 minutes later because his cab got stuck in all that United Nations meeting traffic.
We played our "making of" documentary and then had a great chat session with the students. It turns out that the Hunter students have been fighting for years to establish an Asian American studies program and make it an official part of their curriculum. We loved their passion and enthusiasm and felt very lucky to have an opportunity to meet them all.
After Hunter we went downtown to 26th street to speak to the Asian American Film Lab. We spent about 2 hours exchanging ideas and thoughts with the NY AA filmmaking community. It was cool to connect and meld minds with fellow filmmakers, actors, and producers. They're a great bunch. And after that, they took us to 32nd street to engage in traditional Korean BBQ. Delicious!
