“Children of Invention” – by Tze Chun
Two young children living outside Boston are left to fend for themselves when their mother gets embroiled in a pyramid scheme and disappears. ”Children of Invention” premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, screened at over 40 film festivals, and won 15 festival awards including: Grand Jury Prizes at the 2009 Newport International
Film Festival, Independent Film Festival Boston, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, San Diego Asian Film Festival, and Ojai-Ventura Film Festival. Variety said the film is “Urgent, artful…austerely poetic,” and the Film Society of Lincoln Center said it is “As close to cinematic purity as one is likely to see this year.”

“White on Rice” – by Dave Boyle
40-year-old Jimmy is growing up, or at least he’s getting older. While mooching the upper bunk of his ten-year-old nephew’s bed, he enjoys the never-ending generosity of his sister Aiko, and dodges the wrath of his impatient brother-in-law Tak. He thinks that if only he could get married all his problems would be solved. But when he falls head over heels for Tak’s niece things only go from bad to worse. Featuring a standout cast including Japanese Academy Award winner Nae and Mio Takada, “White on Rice is a satisfying comedic feast” (Honolulu Advertiser) and “A Cinematic Milestone.”(San Francisco Chronicle).
