Yes - more support!

First and foremost - from March 31st to April 13th, FAAIM and the Gene Siskel Film Center will be featuring the 11th Annual Chicago Asian American Showcase!! GO! I triple dog dare you to! You may even run into me there, filming some Q&A from directors after the viewing of their movie. If you think its me (Jonald Reyes - Writer/Director of "That Asian Thing"), please don't hesitate to say hello.



I wanted to take this time to thank the festival director, Mr. Tim Hugh, for being so cooperative during his busy schedule. Thanks Tim! Hopefully "That Asian Thing" will be a part of the Showcase next year (...it's a matter of how long it will take us to edit...).

I'd also like to thank all the filmmakers who I've contacted and who have responded back. I can only imagine how hectic it may be to promote your film, do interviews, attend viewings, and still answer all your emails. I appreciate the support that I've gotten from many of them. As compliment to my blog and to help promote their project, here are their films and links:
