Leave a reply

Here’s a behind-the-scenes featurette to the upcoming sex comedy The People I’ve Slept With, starring Karin Anna Cheung, Wilson Cruz, Archie Kao, Lynn Chen, and James Shigeta. In the short, you’ll see director/producer Quentin Lee, producer Stanley Yung, writer/producer Koji Steven Sakai, actress Karin Anna Cheung, actor Wilson Cruz, and actor Archie Kao talking about the film and the characters. Looking forward to taking a peep at this film when it comes out this fall. Also they just released a official website here. All kinds of stuff at the site like videos, pictures, and a contest. (You gotta be at least 18 to enter the site.)

BTW – also check out the two music videos that have already been released I Like Boys and Crazy Fucked Up Bitch. The latter was banned on YouTube.

Dry Clean Only, J.P. Chan’s 2006 short film, was recently posted online. The short is about a clerk at a dry cleaners visited by a couple with a secret, leaving him with one of his own. It stars Aaron Yoo (Friday the 13th), Debargo Sanyal, and Kavi Ladnier. We remember this short a few year’s back on the Asian American Film Festival circuit. Glad to see it online so more people can enjoy it.

BTW – J.P. Chan also has a new short out “I Don’t Sleep I Dream,” which was recently screen at the 2009 New York Asian American International Film Festival.

Back to School with Far East Movement and David Choi

It’s a back to school collabo Wong Fu Productions x Far East Movement x David Choi. Watch as FM and David Choi give you tips for school as they’re decked out in JC Penney gear. Use the tips in the video with caution. Our favorite tip was about the healthy lunch – Prohgress from FM munching on a head of lettuce.


Seems like JC Penney really wants to reach the Asian American audience. Last year, they had the Get that Look campaign with Asian YouTubers. That’s the same campaign that had David Choi x Kina Grannis for the song My Time With You.

This year JC Penney is going bigger by sponsoring ISA LA 2009 and having a contest for it too. You have an opportunity to win ISA tickets as well as plane tickets to LA for ISA. Get details on how to enter here. Interestingly enough, virtually everyone in the “Get that Look” campaign will be at International Secret Agents: Los Angeles 2009 this year.

Bollywood Hero on IFC

Leave a reply

Filmed over 10 weeks on location in Mumbai, India, BOLLYWOOD HERO also co-stars Maya Rudolph, Julian Sands (A Room with a View, Gothic), Neha Dhupia (former Miss India, Shootout at Lokhandwala), Pooja Kumar (Flavors, former Miss India U.S.A.) , Ali Fazal (The Other End of the Line) and Rachna Shah (The Last Monk). Actors making guest appearances include Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Coolidge and David Alan Grier. Here’s a synopsis of Bollywood Hero

BOLLYWOOD HERO revolves around Kattan, who plays a facsimile of himself in this otherwise fictional comedy. Tired of being rejected as a leading-man in Hollywood, he burns his professional bridges in L.A. and accepts a starring role in the Bollywood film Peculiar Dancing Boy. Fresh off the plane, Chris is flung into a world of sibling rivalry, cultural faux pas, a film with no funding, power hungry starlets, and a movie industry, as competitive and cutthroat as Hollywood, where dance moves are essential. This all leads to a pivotal moment when Chris finds himself making out with a horse. But all is not lost!

In his quest to become Bollywood’s leading man, Chris unexpectedly finds a great dance instructor (part Patrick Swayze, part Mr. Miyagi), trawls India’s countryside for his leading lady, falls in love, and ultimately fulfills dreams he never even imagined. Facing culture clashes, language barriers and complex dance moves, Kattan will stop at nothing to conquer his destiny.

Even with the Bollywood Hero flash mob in Times Square publicity stunt, we’re not sure if Bollywood Hero is gonna be more like Slumdog Millionaire or Love Guru.
