AND I JUST WANT TO SAY
WHILE I HAVE THIS CHANCE

Shouts out to the women in little Saigon
All the Asian women that be lookin’ so perfect (perfect)
And that know how to twerk it (twerk it)

Hook (2x)

Outro (2x)

Antoneus

Viet Phuong Dao

Memoirs Trailer

Based on a true story, a former US Air Force pilot, Ray Harris (Barry Primus) navigated the B-29 bomber plane during World War Two in Japan. Now in his late 80s, Ray enrolls in a memoir class as an attempt to build new friendships and record his experiences on paper while he is still able. Ray befriends Sally (Takayo Fischer), a Japanese woman who has also enrolled in the class. Through their many revealing conversations with each other regarding their memoirs, Harris soon realizes that his connection with Sally extends far beyond the classroom. Sally’s family lived in Japan during World War II, in one of the neighborhoods that Ray bombed. After discovering he piloted the plane that destroyed her hometown in the war, he faces sacrificing this rare new friendship he’s made during the later years of his life. When Ray realizes this, he’s faced with the decision of how to explain his actions to Sally.

The story speaks heavily toward the lasting impact of war, and the importance of human connection through friendship.

Look for the film to hit the festival circuit in mid-2013.

Lyrics to Holy Roller by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

I am a women of leisure
I’ve been looking for the end of want
I don’t want it but I need it
Well come on baby won’t you give me some

It’s too hard for habits
My patience is done with me
I want to live in times that touch
I want to stay when my temper beats

Holy roller roll over me
I’m looking for something else to see
Lasts so long
Hurts so bad
But I want love in the aftermath
I want love in the aftermath

I’ve got mouths to feed to and thoughts to think through
I’ve got words to keep and lies to make true
I’ve got mouths to feed to and thoughts to think through
I’ve got words to keep and lies to make true

Holy roller roll over me
I’m looking for something else to see
Lasts so long
Hurts so bad
But I want love in the aftermath

Holy roller roll over me
I’m looking for something else to see
Lasts so long
Hurts so bad
But I want love in the aftermath
I want love in the aftermath

Make It Up by Sam Tsui

Lyrics to Make It Up by Sam Tsui

I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go

Does it look like I’ve got everything under control?
I’m good at faking it
The ice is getting thin but I’m the only one who knows
I’m only making it up

On the way,
Just play it cool and take it day by day
Do what I can and if they ask me, I say,
“Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out”

I’ve got a little confession
I don’t know what I’m doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I’ll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But ’til I do, I’ll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven’t gotten it wrong

Don’t got no master plan, I don’t got nothing at all
Please don’t think less of me
The chips are in the air, I cross my fingers when they fall
And make the best of each

Hand I get played,
Stay on my toes and take it day by day
Do what I can and if they ask me, I say,
“Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out”

I’ve got a little confession
I don’t know what I’m doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I’ll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But ’til I do, I’ll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven’t gotten it wrong

And I won’t stop ’til I can
See the dead end with my own eyes
I’ve got a lot to prove, oh
And if I do get stuck,
I’ll just wait for better luck
And if it never comes, I’ll make it up

I’ve got a little confession
I don’t know what I’m doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I’ll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But ’til I do, I’ll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven’t gotten it wrong,
Going strong, I make it up, make it up
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven’t gotten it wrong
