It’s the most wonderful time of the year….and no, I’m not talking about Christmas shopping. I’m talking Asian film festivals, baby. Truthfully, they pop up all around the calendar, but two biggies are this week.

Here in the East, check out the First Annual Philly Asian-American Film Festival, October 9-12. Yes, that’s right—you can be a part of the inaugural run. They got the ball rolling with much hard work and grass-roots marketing.

Phil Lam will be there, representing as a producer of Santa Mesa, a really cool story set in the Philippines. Here are a few others attending, who will be around for Q&A;:

:O I wish I could go. I love indie films.

Oo me too. I heard about the Philly one all the time.

I usually wait for the dvd.

Planet Bboy is still showing?

Apparently.

I still haven’t seen it. Only clips on Youtube. =

Isn’t it out on DVD?

Yeah same here.

Oooo you gotta tell us what happened at it! Blasian: Planet B-Boy will be released on dvd November the 11th of this year. Check out their website here: http://www.planetbboy.com/ I saw the movie at a film festival and it’s on and poppin’!

Tell about what?

You can only see the performances at the end of the movie on Youtube.

Best part!
