I am co-producing with Patrick Epino, director of the indie feature Mr. Sadman, along with Alice and Cindy. We received a grant from the California Library Association to make this film, which centers around the friendship between a Chinese American girl and a Japanese American in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The setting is World War II and the beginning of America’s internment of Japanese citizens.

For more information on this excellent and original project check out the film’s website:

In their bold first production, the Collective, under Joshua’s expert direction, will produce The Persians, Robert Auletta’s modern adaptation of Aeschylus’ classic.

The Duende Collective endeavors to unify various forms of live media and visual expression in order to fully explore the reach of works like The Persians. In this realm, I am honored and excited to be a member of the Collective.

Keep an eye on the website for the upcoming production as well as future theatrical and cinematic projects.

The air was cool and the theater sparkling with lights. After grabbing my filmmaker badge and tickets, I met up with the programmer for my shorts program. We chatted a bit about the festival, and I met a few more staff members. Then, spotting the rapidly growing line to get into the theater, I joined the crowd.

The opening film as “Lymelight,” directed by Derick Martini. It’s one of these tragicomic family dramas often associated with Indie films and Film Festivals. But it was worth all the speeches and advertisements to see some excellent performances from Alec Baldwin, playing a less classy version of Jack Donaghy, Kieran Culkin, surly with the right amount of goofiness, Emma Roberts, as the consummate girl next door and a surprising Timothy Hutton, tragic simply by expression, and with incredibly lopsided hair.

I was expecting a panel, a Q&A or some introductions when the lights went up; but instead the crowd got up and streamed for the exit in search of the after party.

The party was fancy. Sponsored by (among many others) Absolut, there was plenty of alcohol in addition to quite a few restaurants that had booths. I ate 2 “Hawaiian sliders” along with a mango Vodka cocktail that was delicious. For entertainment, there was a fashion show from Bloomingdales and then a salacious burlesque show courtesy of Zumanity. There were plenty of hoots and hollers from the decked out crowd, who by that time had enough free liquor in them to unashamedly push closer to get a better look at the writhing flesh of the adult version of Cirque du Soleil.

All in all, it was quite a night.
