I wrote a piece in the Oakland Tribune about this film and about "Hollywood Chinese," which you can read here. It really is an inspiring story. Marion Wong started the Mandarin Film Company and cast her family members, including sister-in-law Violet Wong, in the film.
The film's gotten some good press around here, and it is definitely worth a peek. The film also opens in May in the Los Angeles area and in NYC. More details to come!
