Asian American Santa is coming to town!

We do a ton of programs at JANM, but this is one of the ones I’m most proud and excited about. Asian American Santa is coming to town on December 12! And better yet, you can get a free pic!

As a parent of an Asian American kid, there just aren’t a lot of places that I can take my kid to where the Santa will actually look like him.

(And I don’t have to remind you that St. Nick was from Asia Minor, which makes him Asian! Don’t believe me, check out the article I wrote over on 8Asians.)

Santa will be at JANM from 12-3. It’s on JANM’s family day so there is a ton of other stuff to do. For more information, click here.

Looking for Japanese American Screenplays

 

I’m looking to option a screenplay about Japanese Americans during World War II for possible future production. Please send queries (with logline/short synopsis/bio) to me at ksakai1@gmail.com. Or contact me if you have any questions.

Please note that this is a personal project and not associated in any way with the Japanese American National Musuem.

Ain’t It Cool News: #1 Serial Killer Review

Ain't it news

Check out the review over on Ain’t It Cool News.

“#1 SERIAL KILLER is not a scare a minute film. It’s a deeply disturbed psychological drama focusing on the disintegration of the makeup of a normal human being into an inhuman monster capable of taking human life. Mapped out rather ingeniously and formidably acted across the board, if you’re interested in culture conflict and descent into madness tales, #1 SERIAL KILLER should be at the top of your list of to-see movies.”

New Movie: Skeletons in the Closet

Happy/excited/nervous to announce my newest feature film project, Skeleton in the Closet, we’ll be shooting this fall. More news to come! (The image is a random image and has nothing to do with the movie. Just felt I needed something)

By the way, saw this great review of the book. I’m always so humbled when I see people liked something I did. The critic in me always says that no one is going to like it. I have to stop listening to that part of me.
