NOTE FROM DIRECTOR, PAUL-
It’s because of communities like this that our story has been screening all over the country, since our release in August of 2022. The ESGVJCC has been a huge supporter of our productions and, personally, of my growth as a fourth generation Japanese American and a cancer survivor. They sponsored me, and my sibling Laurie, on a study abroad program to Japan when I was in college. I spent a month with a host family and was able to feel like I was having a real immersive experience in the country where my not-too-distant ancestors had lived. Years later, they would also host bone marrow drives to help me find a match when my cancer relapsed and I was searching for that one person who would be able to give me the safest transplant option. I am so grateful to have the ESGVJCC in my life and to share this film with them, after all we’ve been through together, is nothing short of a dream. Don't miss this special screening!
Screening begins at 1PM followed by a Q&A with cast and writer/director, Paul Daisuke Goodman.
