Paper Heart DVD

Paper Heart, which debuted at Sundance 2009, is now out on DVD. Here’s a synopsis of the mockumentary about love:

Charlyne Yi does not believe in love. Or so she says. Well, at the very least, she doesn’t believe in fairy-tale love or the Hollywood mythology of love, and her own experiences have turned her into yet another modern-day skeptic.

Follow Charlyne across America as she and her good friend (and director) Nicholas Jasenovec search for answers and advice about love, by talking with friends and strangers, scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They each offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does true love really exist? Charlyne’s pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a fresh new urgency when she meets a boy after her own heart: Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, her pursuit risks losing the person she finds closest to her heart.

Combining elements of documentary and traditional storytelling, reality and fantasy, Paper Heart brings a fresh perspective to the modern romance and redefines the classic love story.

Get the DVD at Amazon.

If you missed it, here’s some other videos Charlyne Yi was in over the summer: Dirty Dancing Spoof and Song Away by Hockey.

Q & A with Charlyne Yi

Beautiful by Margaret Cho DVD

Margaret Cho’s 5th stand up concert film, “Beautiful,” comes to DVD today. Learning to love her luscious self over the past forty years, comedian Margaret Cho realized that the eye of the beholder doesn’t hold all the power when it comes to beauty. Our tastes may be groomed by the media, but how we feel about how we look brings our self-image into focus. Armed with something more potent than lip gloss — a mouth so shocking and raunchy it should be stamped with a warning. Cho toured America with her manifesto: “This show is really about how we should feel beautiful,”” says Cho. When you feel beautiful, you’re going to have more of a willingness to use your voice to speak. Shot at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, Cho’s latest stand-up concert film, Beautiful, explores the good, bad, and downright ugly in beauty, and the unattractive politicians and marketers who shape our world.

Get her DVD on Amazon. Currently under $9. You can also catch Margaret Cho on Drop Dead Diva.
