MTV Picks Up Asian American Film for Widespread Distribution
Print | Email
In a most unexpected move, after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January to rave reviews, MTV picks up the first ever film about Asian American youth for widespread distribution. “Better Luck Tomorrow”, written, directed and produced by Justin Lin (Shopping for Fangs), a UCLA film school graduate, tells the story of a group of Ivy League-bound Asian American suburban high school students breaking down the myth of the model minority. I had the pleasure of attending the film’s Southern California debut at the recent Visual Communications film festival and I must say that this is a landmark film for Asian Americans. MTV will release Better Luck Tomorrow this winter. Read all about it at the Official Better Luck Tomorrow Website.
