  I recently joined a company called Mixr Media, which builds online communities for niche audiences.  Currently, Mixr runs three sites:

  Asian news and entertainment - www.ningin.com

  Gadgets and consumer electronics - www.jetdrop.com

  Cars and auto industry - www.ziggytek.com

  I'm still working in the film industry, but this was a really interesting opportunity that I couldn't pass up.  Hope you can check them out!  And we're always looking for bloggers to add to these sites, so if you're interested, send me a message...

  From reviews received during our festival and theatrical runs:
  
  "A film of remarkably direct emotions"
  - SLANT Magazine
  
  "Tough and heartfelt"
  - NY Times
  
  "A film of discrete sensitivity and unusual emotional intelligence. Sincere, smart, and exceptionally well-cast and performed, the film clicks."
  - NEW YORK SUN
  
  "An energetic, visually stunning and absorbing neo noir... Lee's direction is confident, bold"
  -G. Allen Johnson SF CHRONICLE
  
  "Stylish, if True Romance is the gonzo extreme of the noir genre, UNDOING is more of a cool mood piece."
  -Variety
  
  "Visually arresting, with a few virtuoso turns (including a surprising one by veteran Russell Wong)"
  - Jeff Yang SF GATE
