Since this documentary was filmed with lower-scale equipment back in 2006, it seems like the quality is retro on purpose and adds a new dynamic to watching it today. It's interesting to watch this film over and see where or what these Asian-American artists are up to 4 years later. Who's still going for the dream? Are they still pro-active in the Asian/Asian-American scene? Are they still in Chicago? What other avenues/adventures have they taken on remote from their art?
Also, since the completion of "That Asian Thing," many new artists have risen and taken leads to pushing Asian-American awareness in the arts. So, if you're not doing anything on this nice Spring night, come on out and watch! We'll see you there!
PS - "That Asian Thing" DVD to come out this Summer. Cross yo fingers!
