We twittered about the release party for “Sleep” in NYC (follow us @channelapa). Now the video is online. Deep Foundation is back with another music video “Sleep” this time featuring singer-songwriter Jay Legaspi and produced by Incise. Unlike their previous music video “Children of the Sun“, “Sleep” is animated. The video was illustrated, animated & directed by the talented Filipino American Choz Belen. (After watching the music video, you’ll agree that Choz Belen got skillz.) Previously, Choz Belen directed the music video “A Place Called Home” by Deep Foundation.
“Sleep” is the 2nd music video off their debut album, “The First Draft”. Get you copy on

We just heard about this film, Yellow: American Dream, Chinese Ambition. It’s a riveting short film about two Chinese former best friends who meet in New York’s Chinatown for one last deadly encounter. Starring in the film are Ty Won, Mike Koo, Mike Lou, and Peter Kim. From the 1 minute teaser, the film looks dark and gritty. The film kinda reminds us of the movie “Baby“.

Netflix and Film Independent will award one $150,000 cash production grant, plus turn-key resources like film stock, processing, camera rental, and post-productions services, for a total price value of more than $350,000. One of the films in contention is “Why We Pull the Trigger” by Eric Lin. Here’s a synopsis of the film:
While dead people do not scare Harry (Tim Kang), an attendant in the city morgue, his mother’s losing battle with lung cancer terrifies him. With the medical bills piling up, Harry runs errands on the side for Vince, a funeral director who teases Harry with a glimpse of the money that can be made in the underground black market for body parts. Harry hatches a plan to tap into the lucrative market, but when he recruits his friends into the scheme, their descent into the gruesome work quickly spins out of his control. Why We Pull the Trigger looks at the corrosive choices people make in order to survive, even as they are pushed deeper into the cracks of society.
Tim Kang, from the Mentalist and AT&T commercials, is in the film. Vote for the film here. Watch the gritty and disturbing clip from “Why We Pull the Trigger”.
