Arowana Films has been on a roll with releasing both new and old projects… this particular one was shot over a year ago when all the Kim Jong Il vids were coming out. Notice a theme? Yah, North Korea. But instead of comedy… this one’s on the dramatic side. Stars Jae Choung (J Splif from FM), John Kim, and Lanny Joon. Cinematography by Remi Tournois. Written by Anson Ho. Directed by Evan Jackson Leong. Here’s the trailer:
And here’s episode 1:

This is going to start sounding repetitive, but I heart Jeannie Mai!!!
Since the time Jeannie first put the box up, she’s put up a new one… so make a hike up the steeper hill at Runyon Canyon and you’ll see it!
“Pray it forward!” – transforming Los Angeles one prayer at a time.
I heart Jeannie Mai and Becky Wu! They’re taking some prayers to lift up :]

Was LXD x GLEE Live in Concert at the Gibson Amphitheatre last Friday night… and it was awesome.
Ok, I’m not a REAL Gleek, cuz’… I’d never watched a full episode of GLEE until the day of the concert. I decided I should probably get familiar with the show… so thank God for Hulu, I was able to watch 2 episodes before the show!
And yes, this was my FIRST real concert EVER. I mean, I’ve been to tons of live music events or intimate shows at small venues or even Kollaboration at the Orpheum, but this was my first large scale mainstream concert… and wow, I must go to more!!! I know, I know. I’m a late bloomer… and maybe just not that trendy…
*Drool*… LXD was sick. Can’t wait to see the webisodes…
The live GLEE numbers were amazing. I wish we were sitting closer:
Anyway, good times with good peeps. Mucho thanks to Solomon and Jill :]
It was also cool seeing Harry Shum, Jr. in action after meeting him at the LA Asian Pacific Film Fest! Omg, he can DANCE. I think I have a crush now… puahaha ;P

So Vincent Sze is visiting LA from Hong Kong to promote his online drama series, “Urban Wolf.” It’s funny, cuz’ I met Vince in a non-industry way, so I didn’t really know what he was all about (he’s an actor), but after hanging out with him the other day, he showed me a few episodes of “Urban Wolf”… and now I’m hooked (I just wanna see what the frick happens… it’s a thriller)! Check out the trailer:
You can watch “Urban Wolf” via Sony Pictures Television on Crackle.com (only available in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada). They’ve been releasing one episode per day through May 27th (11 of 15 episodes have already been released). Each episode is quite short… approx. 4 minutes, so one episode def goes by fast. And because they’re so short, if you watch them consecutively, the pre and post-roll ads and credits can get a bit annoying. But how else are they gonna monetize things like this, right?
Anyway, it’s cool that Vince is in town meeting up with folks over here… maybe we’ll see him in some Hollywood flicks in the future…
Vince says he’ll have a star on the Walk of Fame one day…
It’s his first time in the USA, so I guess he’s excused for being super touristy. Haha!

Alright, I’m gonna throw in a little bit of criticism here… I’m starting to think this was a lot better watching it as a feature. Things are still only just warming up. So far I can’t say these have been very strong stand alone pieces and seems like the biggest complaint is that they’re too short (though they are all over 6 minutes, which IMO is too long for YouTube). With that said, if we were comparing this to watching a TV show once a week vs. renting the entire season on DVD, I’d prob just wait for all webisodes to drop so that I could watch them back to back. By no means does this mean it sucks… it’s GREAT as a whole, so keep watching! :]
Btw, if you’re in the LA area, you can actually see the feature length version on June 8th at the brand new CGV Theaters in K-town!
