Market Price is one of six finalist competing for the grand prize the National Festival Tour CINEMA ME Short Film Competition. The contest asked non-professional filmmakers to give their take on Asian American film in under five minutes. Here’s a quick synopsis of the film:

When a granddaughter is asked to pick up groceries for her grandmother, she is restricted to a budget of forty dollars. Embarrassed to ask for a discount on dented cans of coconut milk, Market Price shows us how she is forced to stand up for herself and become a more confident woman.

Find out if it wins during the 2010 AAIFF in New York. Also see these other finalists: Still Life and Receiver
