I have an op-ed today in the Seattle Times about "Rosemead" and the operation of shame in AAPi communities, how it's is not just our statistics but our history. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
‘Rosemead’ holds up a mirror to our battle against shame
As a journalist covering Asian American communities, Frank Shyong saw the potency and danger of shame. An article he wrote inspired the film "Rosemead."

RIP James Ransone. He played "Stan" the paparazzo in Aaron Katz's GEMINI. He was wonderful in Sean Baker's TANGERINE too. A great actor gone too soon. 😢 variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

I was just thinking of Tammie 2 days ago, wondering how she was doing, hoping that she'd beaten the stupid cancer. I'm so sad she is gone. Too soon. She was a light. Hugs to her loved ones. deadline.com/2025/12/tamm...

Review by Peter Travers. Film opens Dec 5 in NYC, Dec 12 in LA! "Lucy Liu deglams with a vengeance to give the performance of her life... ROSEMEAD means to shake you and it does. Pay attention." www.thetraverstake.com/featured/spo...
Peter Travers reviews "Rosemead"
Lucy Liu brings her movie star glamour way down to reach a career high as a mother fighting to save her son from his violent instincts.

Already reading bad takes comparing ROSEMEAD to other AA films, e.g, it "borrows elements" of Chinese mothers fr Didi & EEAAO. 😳 Asian Americans said this! This is like saying 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' borrowed elements fr white moms of Lady Bird & Serial Mom. Decolonize your minds, my brothas!

Look what opens Dec 5, the same day as ROSEMEAD. Make it a Lucy Liu double feature! #Rosebill www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

It's wild when agents send producers a script asking us to spend years of our lives working for free to conjure it into a film, and their disclaimer is "will commission your fixed and contingent comp at 10%." No thanks, buddy, no thanks. #producing

Producers face so much disrespect. Just heard about one not being invited to their own #FilmFestival premiere party bc the distributor only considered director & actors as "core team"-even though producer attached wri, dir & cast! Thx EPC for calling out this BS. www.screendaily.com/news/euro-in...
