Roger Fan: The Out-Takes, Part 1
lan [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 5117 Level: 44, Pins: 7 EXP 08/01/2008 3:51am From the Elena Stevenson blog, by elenastevenson on 2008-07-31 10:26 PM (original link) Yeah, I’m the lucky girl standing next to Roger Fan. When I finally met him at “Finishing the Game”’s New York City premiere last October, I felt like we’d known each other forever. Roger, one of the film’s stars, was the unofficial blogger of FTG’s 2007 Grassroots Tour. Besides spending most of the year at film festivals and campuses, connecting with the fans, Roger also spent countless hours documenting the tour in pictures and funny descriptions, much to the delight of rabid fans like me. If you got a MySpace comment from Finishing the Game, it was most often Roger’s doing. We emailed back and forth, and I teased him about how great he looked, bare-chested and suntan-oiled, as the cocky Breeze Loo circa 1973. Then I interviewed him by phone while writing up Finishing the Game for a local newspaper. Truth be told, I was lucky the article got run at all. Asian-American film is pretty much off the radar where I live; I had only 850 words for a review of Finishing the Game AND a “wide angle” on Asians in Hollywood! But Roger, smart Brown alum that he is, gave me so much great material that would not fit in that tiny box. And I had the tall order of editing it and giving my fellow Midwesterners a taste of what’s happening in the Asian-American community. (more...)

elenastevenson [ # 14 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 214 Level: 4, Pins: 5 EXP 08/01/2008 1:06pm OMG, I’m so enjoying this. Thanks, Phil, for setting everyone straight. Yes, the other guy in the first photo is mine. My husband is cute, crazy hair and all, no? He’s Korean, as is Sung. Remember, Sung Kang is also in Finishing the Game, and also very cool in person.
