We met some of the cast and crew of “SF Stories” at the opening night party of the 2010 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. The film is comprised of nine shorts combined together to form a full blown movie with a mockumentary sandwiched in between. It asks the question “Can you have yellow fever if you’re Asian?” Here’s a synopsis of the film:

Through a series of separate yet increasingly intertwined stories, SF STORIES focuses on the relationship between Michael, a 30-something Chinese American man with a fetish for Asian women, and Wendy, a 25 year-old Japanese American woman who is intelligent, strong-willed but afraid of the world. Their relationship, buffeted by their interactions with various friends and strangers and by circumstances both comic and tragic, is observed ultimately by all the characters’ participation in a documentary examining their lives. SF STORIES shows their hope, their loneliness, their dreams, and how people sometimes have to make do with what they have.

SF Stories was conceived, organized, funded, and produced entirely by an Asian-American creative team and crew. The cast features actors from San Francisco and Los Angeles, and the soundtrack is comprised entirely of music from Asian-American and Bay Area music artists. Their film premieres LA on May 5, 2010!
