We Interrupt Sundance…
Between the Articles and Blog sections on the Sundance 2010 website, it really is the next best thing to being there.

Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF 2009)
Prior commitments prevented me from seeing the other venue – Asian Arts Initiative and from screenings of the shorts and documentaries. I liked the idea that PAAFF presented shorts Light and Dark. I also wanted to see Operation Babylift about President Ford’s initiative in 1975 to airlift over 2500 orphans out of Vietnam and the effects 30 years later. To my discredit, my coverage is very incomplete in the fact…
