Bathroom Battle Royale

Have you ever wonder what happens in the women’s bathroom when they walk together in pairs? Bathroom Battle Royale, a submission to the Interpretations Film Initiative, explores why girls take so long in the restroom. They took their cameras along into that most sacred of places and were shocked to find out exactly went on in there. Sometimes It Really Does Hurt to Pee. We also spotted Ktown Cowboy Lanny Joon in the short.

Reel in the Vote with Randall Park

As we get closer to the November 2nd California Elections as well as the 2010 San Diego Asian Film Festival, we’ll get a chance to hear from Asian Pacific American actors and activists on the importance of voting. They’ll share personal stories and encourage you to REEL IN THE VOTE in November. This week, actor Randall Park tells you why you should speak up and vote. It’s a painstakingly emotional moment for him. Looks like we might see PSA messages from Lynn Chen, Danny Cho, Ron Yuan, and Aaron Yoo.

Here’s a few other voting PSAs: Officer Bart Kwan wants you to vote, Embrace Your Power with Kelly Hu and George Takei, and Power of the Swing Vote

REEL IN THE VOTE is a non-partisan PSA contest and campaign to generate awareness, excitement, and dialogue to get more Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) and independent voters out to the polls this year.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Jake Shimabukuro

A few months ago, we wrote about a full-length documentary in production about musician Jake Shimabukuro including a clip of him playing “Blue Roses Falling“. Director Tad Nakamura and the Center for Asian American Media released a new clip from the film. This time Jake plays an eloquent version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” on a uke. Look for this documentary to hit the film festival circuit in 2011.

See some of Tadashi Nakamura’s other work including Yellow Brotherhood, A Salon Story, and A Song for Ourselves.

Erin Paula (half of Rin on the Rox ) dropped a music video for her new original single iPod. The sexy love song compares her man to an iPod. We’re not sure which one she love more at the end of the song, but she definitely has some strong vocals on the track. What do you think? like it! love it! hate it! whatever! Pick up the track on iPod or amazon

Previously, she released the song “In The Mirror“. Could a full blown album or EP be right around the corner?

In conjunction with the release of Clara Cʼs Album “The Art in My Heart,” Clara is also proud to release the Ross Ching directed music video for her original song “Offbeat.” Ross has worked on music videos with artists such as Death Cab for Cutie and Kina Grannis. Ross recently directed Kinaʼs latest music video Valentine which has now reached over 3 millions views on youtube.

For the “Offbeat” music video, there was essentially no budget. Just a camera and some creative minds. The video centers around the theme of bubbles The team even created their own recipe for bubbles to make them bigger. You’ll also recognize Southern California shooting locations including under the Santa Monica pier, railroad tracks in downtown and a pool of water at Chantry Flats near Pasadena. The visuals are stunning.

update: you can get Offbeat at Offbeat
