Parallel Adele

Leave a reply

If you missed the short documentary “Parallel Adele” during it’s film festival run, you can see it online now. Check out this 15 minute short. Here’s a synopsis:

Two half Vietnamese documentary filmmakers, both named Adele (Adele Pham and Adele Ray), weave a shared narrative of mixed Asian (HAPA) experiences through interviews with 7 other mixed race subjects. History, memory, and anecdotes on multiracial ethnicity are represented through archival images, super 8 film, verité, and interview.

Parallel Adele has screened at 13 festivals, including the SF Int’l Asian American Film Festival, Wesleyan, NYU, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. For a lighter side of being HAPA, check out On the Clock – Episode 2.

Ham! produced by Kato

Listen to this track “Ham!” by up and coming music producer Kato out of Atlanta. (He’s the same guy that produced dumbfoundead’s Rapper O’s track.) The song “Ham!” features a collabo with The Beat Gods and 4-IZE. We about to go HAM!

Ham! produced by Kato

Look for this track and more music on Kato’s upcoming T.I.M.E. Vol. 2 mixtape. You can still download the T.I.M.E. Vol. 1 mixtape for FREE.

If you’re an Asian American artist and you like what you hear, hit him up for a collabo.

Steve Byrne made a guest appearance on The Jay Leno Show doing his comedy routine. He pokes fun at relationships and differences between men and women. His jokes about GPS navigation and Doc’s prescription for the seven dwarfs cracked us up.

Look for a new comedy special “The Byrne Identity” from Steve in early 2010 on Comedy Central. His last special “Happy Hour” is available on Amazon.
