Happy Holidays Hiatus....

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post an update to keep everyone informed of what's been happening with the film of recent.

Since the completion of the film in March of 2008, it has participated in 5 film festivals and screened at over 5 colleges. This is actually more than what was expected for this low budget, very indie documentary. As a one-man director/editor, this film was intended to get my (Jonald Reyes's) feet touching the water and it has done so. It was not only an exhilirating experience to be part of great dialogue at Q&A sessions, but also awesome to meet people that were inspired by the film. I can't tell you how many times a good handful of Asian-Americans and NON-Asian-Americans that would approach me after viewing the film to shake my hand and tell me their own viewpoint on why there should be more Asian-Americans in mainstream American culture.

Currently the film is open for invitations to be screened at college campuses - just shoot us an email (asianthing@gmail.com).

However, previously mentioned, as Jonald (the Director) is the one-man crew, he's been honing his craft to come back in the near future with a narrative film (genre yet to be determined). He's getting his creative juices flowing by the great theater classes/workshops in the Chicagoland area and has been focusing more on writing. Keep an eye open for any small projects along the way, which include music videos, comedy troupe performances, and plays.

Thanks to everyone that has been supportive in all aspects of "That Asian Thing" and tangent projects. If a DVD self-distribution gets ironed out, the world will be informed. Thanks again and happy holidays!
