Eugenia in 'The Choking Man'[LA/NY]

Theatrical Release of 'The Choking Man' featuring Eugenia Yuan.

For more info see:  http://www.chokingman.com/main.html


Synopsis:
Jorge (Octavio Gomez Berrios) is a painfully shy Ecuadorian dishwasher toiling away in a shabby Jamaica, Queens diner owned and run by Rick (Mandy Patinkin).Looming over him: the familiar image of the "choking man," the ever-present Heimlich Maneuver instruction poster.

From his solitary kitchen corner, Jorge tries to express his adoration for the newly hired Chinese waitress, Amy ( Eugenia Yuan, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA).

The film's touches of magic realism reflect Barron's background as an innovative music video director (he did the giddy, addictive clip "Take On Me," for the Norwegian group A-Ha.")

Winner, Gotham Awards, Best Undistributed Film

"Everything an independent film should be."  
-Steven Soderbergh
