Hello everyone, heretofore is my first blog entry AnD.
Just wanted to thank Patrick Lee and Terence Yin for coming to the June 3rd Los Angeles premiere of a feature film documentary I produced entitled YOURS TRULY, MISS CHINATOWN. I been associated with Patrick Lee and Stephen Wang for quite a number of years when I was an strategic advisor to www.rottentomatoes.com These are guys are amazing! I've also hung out with Terence on a number occasions and also admire him (as well asConroy, Daniel, Andrew) for his activism, passion and dedication to artists.
Though I've supported and promoted quite a few Asian American films in LA through www.apex.org and www.drinkschatter.com, this is the first one that I am formally involved with. I'm really proud of the director, Daisy Lin Shapiro, who took FIVE YEARS to make this puppy! It's essentially about three women who aspire to be Miss Chinatown and somehow end up finding themselves (or who they are not) in the process. As they go through three years of their life -- issues of Chinese identity, family expectations and along with interracial relationships come up. We premiered at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival and have applied to a variety of other festivals.

P.S. I was in HK when AnD launched in April 2007 and was lucky to be in HK again, a year later, for the AnD 1-year Anniversary party. I'm just amazed at the dedication of the AnD folks. You guys have really built a strong following globally. Happy birthday again AnD!
