Austin Asian American Film Festival 2009

Note: This is a private screening for UT students with IDs only. White on Rice will also be screening for the general public on Saturday, November 14th, at 2pm (also with Lynn Chen in attendance).

Jimmy, a 40-year-old recent divorcee and all-around loveable loser, is spending his days mooching off his sister Aiko and brother in-law Tak, while at night he shares a bunk bed with his precocious 10-year-old nephew. One day, Tak’s gorgeous niece Ramona moves into the household and Jimmy falls head over heels. Much comedic mayhem ensues as Jimmy’s romantic intentions go hilariously awry. With an all-star cast that includes Hiroshi Watanabe (Letters from Iwo Jima), Lynn Chen (Saving Face), James Kyson Lee (Heroes) and Japanese Academy Award winner Nae, this indie charmer will have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face.

Lead actress Lynn Chen in attendance!
