TaiwaneseAmerican.org Co-Presents “Nice Girls Crew” & “Yes, We’re Open” at the SF International Asian American Film Festival

TaiwaneseAmerican.org is pleased to once again co-present a couple of film selections screening at the premier San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. This year, we’ve chosen to highlight and promote two films starring two of our very own Taiwanese American actors, the beautiful Lynn Chen and Michelle Krusiec, who we both have previously interviewed and featured.

Note that Lynn Chen is in an unheard-of four movies at the film festival this year, so we’re dubbing this the Lynn-sanity film festival week! We hear she’ll be around for some of the screenings too, so be sure to say hello to her!

Other films that Lynn Chen can be seen in during the week include Surrogate Valentine 2 and Saving Face. Michelle Krusiec is also a cast member of a short film called LA Coffin School, directed by Erin Li (who we have featured previously). Additionally, both Lynn and Michelle will join Joan Chen and the cast & crew for a reunion event during the Saving Face screening.

We’re strong supporters of seeing more Asian Americans represented in the media, and if you are too, be sure to consider becoming a member or donor for the Center for Asian American Media, the sponsoring organization for the film festival!
