NEW VIDEO by Team SOHCAHTOA!

08:22PM by Alvin Lin

This new movie is hilarious, but here is the back story first.  I first covered Team SOHCAHTOA during the 72 Hour Shootout weekend, and after tons of work (and fun), their great video ‘Everyone Everyday’ was submitted to the competition, only to find out their video was disqualified on certain technicalities.  To say this result was disappointing, is an understatement.  David Hou, being the kind soul he is, asked the team last week if they would be willing to create a second video, about this or in reaction to this, which would be shown at the awards ceremony, with no restrictions on what to write or tape.  Here is what the team came up with in ten hours, titled ‘The Asian Hybrid’, and it is hilarious.  It was directed, produced, & edited by Calvin Sun, Brian Foo, Teriha Yaegashi, and the rest of team SOHCAHTOA.
