Chink by Koji Steven Sakai and Quentin Lee
I got this from Koji Steven Sakai. They’re making a slasher movie called Chink, and they’re looking to raise $10k. Learn more here.
Chink is a slasher movie with a message. With this film, we intend to explore issues about racial identity and self-hate, but stories about identity politics don’t have to take themselves so seriously. They can have blood, guts, and sex too.
The People I’ve Slept With, opening in SF, LA, NYC
Koji Sakai, a screenwriter and 8A blogger, sent word that his movie The People I’ve Slept With is going to be opening in SF, LA, and NYC. We Portlanders are out of luck, but if you’re in one of the three big cities, be sure to check out his film. It’s an Asian American romantic comedy, which, as most of you know, is kinda rare. There’s an Asian guy playing the love interest opposite the female lead. Support AA film by checking this out. See the trailer here.
