Looking for Interns

by ksakai1

Want to learn how to produce a film? What better way than to just do it. I’m looking for interns to help me as I embark on producing a few films (both narrative and documentaries) in 2019.

I’m looking for energetic and detail orientated folks with an interest in making movies from the ground up. I promise after you finish this you’ll be able produce your own films. This is mostly remote, but we’ll have to meet regularly in person so please be around South Pasadena or at least within driving distance.

No pay. But if you put in work on the project, you’ll get a real credit on it. And if you are going to school I’d be happy to make arrangements so you can get credit.

I’m looking for at least a six month commitment.

If you are interested, please email me at ksakai1@gmail.com with your resume and why you are the perfect person to do this!

FREE “Strangers” Screening @ JANM (CHOPSO)

by ksakai1

Join us for the world premiere of the Director’s Cut of STRANGERS by Michael Aki and starring Eugenia Yuan.

A dead man’s girlfriend turns out to be a hit man’s new assignment, but an unfamiliar longing for connection stays his hand. The unlikely odd couple embarks on an odyssey that necessarily evolves into a getaway.

STRANGERS is the sophomoric feature directed by Michael Aki after his first feature, SUNSETS (1997) that world premiered as part of Class of 1997, Asian American New Wave, at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival in 1997.

Preceding STRANGERS is Director Brian L. Tan’s 30-minute film HOLDOUT, a historical action drama based on a true story of the last Japanese holdout from World War II. Left behind on an island by his unit, he never learned of Japan’s defeat and has been fighting a one-man war ever since. Suddenly, his worldview is challenged when he encounters a modern American tourist.

Actress Eugenia Yuan, Director Michael Aki and Director Brian L. Tan “BLT” will appear for a Special Q&A after the film.

Join Michael Aki and Eugenia Yuan at the After Party at Little Tokyo’s historic Far Bar (https://www.farbarla.com/), at 347 East 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 after 10 pm. Cash bar only.

STRANGERS will stream worldwide date and date on December 7 on CHOPSO.
