The Asian American Movement, that documentary I posted about awhile ago, is officially premiering tonight at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival! Will you be there? 9:30p at CGV Cinemas.

I know the crew has been working really hard on this project for the last several months to truly capture a movement that has been going on for quite some time. And so I’m very excited to see what they have to show the world and very proud to have had some involvement. This has definitely been a VERY ambitious project, so I’m looking forward to celebrating with everyone involved! Yay-yuh, *cheers* all!

Opens this Thursday evening with SHANGHAI CALLING. Looks like actor Daniel Henney and comedian Steve Byrne will be making it quite the hapa-ning night.

On Friday night, my music video program, CINEMA MÚSICA!, will be screening at CGV Cinemas at 7:30p. If you can make it, I’ll be conducting a Q&A with filmmakers and artists in attendance after the screening. After that, I’m gonna head to the DGA to see THE CRUMBLES! And then if I’m in the partying mood, I’ll stop by Club Los Globos for some live music and schmoozing.

On Saturday, I’m gonna try to check out HANG LOOSE, SUNSET STORIES, and YES, WE’RE OPEN! On Sunday, I’m prob gonna have to take a break, but I wanna shout out Michael Kang’s latest film, KNOTS. I got to see it at SDAFF last year and it’s def a good film to watch with the fam on Mother’s Day ;]

It’s that time of year again where KoreAm Journal puts on a big gala to celebrate Korean American achievements. Unfortunately, the gala is sold out (I heard it’s Jay Park’s fault), but you can still get into the after party if you feel like possibly mingling/dancing with the likes of Amerie, Hines Ward, Sung Kang, Brian Tee, Leonardo Nam, Jay Park, Dia Frampton, etc. Here’s a lil’ blurb from KoreAm:

This year you can munch on delicious Korean-Mexican fusion tacos from the KOGI BBQ TRUCK, dance the night away to music provided by DJ A-LIST & DJ DO-FUNK, enjoy an OPEN BAR featuring HITE BEER and JINRO SOJU cocktails–all while partying with celebrities and VIP guests at the legendary Park Plaza Hotel.

Date: Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011
Time: 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. (immediately following the Unforgettable gala)
Venue: Park Plaza Hotel
607 S. Park View Street
Los Angeles, CA 90057
Price: $40
