Here’s an independent thriller web series called *LUMINA* by Asian
American writer, director, and producer Jennifer Thym. The lead actress JuJu Chan and actors Vince Matthew Chung and Michael Chan are also Asian Americans. (well Michael Chan’s Asian Canadian, but technically that’s still North America!) The series was filmed at the end of last year on location in Hong Kong with a Red One camera. (That camera rocks!!)

The first season of LUMINA the Web Series will comprise of ten webisodes,
three to five minutes each, and will be available starting summer 2009. Here’s a synopsis:

Lumina Wong (JuJu Chan) is beautiful but works far too much; although she lives in a city of millions, she still feels lonely and isolated. Late one night, Lumina has a chance encounter with Ryder Lee(Michael Chan), a handsome young man from another world that she can see in mirrors and darkened window reflections. She revels in the fantasy relationship until mirrorspy Eben Sanchez (Jacob Ziacan) comes into her life, warning her of the treacheries of the people of the Dark Realm. Soon Lumina must choose between the safety of the world she knows and the deadly allure of the unknown.

We’ll let you know when the series is available online.
