Our visit to Hunter College in NYC!
Tonight we went to go speak at Hunter College in NYC. We had an amazing time connecting with and meeting all the students. It was kinda cool cause it was our first "Official" stop on our national Grassroots tour. Sung, Julie, Josh and I made it there first. Traffic sucked though. Justin showed up about 15 minutes later because his cab got stuck in all that United Nations meeting traffic.

We played our "making of" documentary and then had a great chat session with the students. It turns out that the Hunter students have been fighting for years to establish an Asian American studies program and make it an official part of their curriculum. We loved their passion and enthusiasm and felt very lucky to have an opportunity to meet them all.

After Hunter we went downtown to 26th street to speak to the Asian American Film Lab. We spent about 2 hours exchanging ideas and thoughts with the NY AA filmmaking community. It was cool to connect and meld minds with fellow filmmakers, actors, and producers. They're a great bunch. And after that, they took us to 32nd street to engage in traditional Korean BBQ. Delicious!

Roger Fan is one of the industry’s most interesting and exciting young personalities, redefining the leading man aesthetic through a wide variety of projects as an actor, host, and motivational speaker. Rave reviews from international critics such as Roger Ebert, Richard Roper, Peter Travers, and Elvis Mitchell have pointed out that Roger is a “charismatic and fearless persona with a limitless future.” His film credits are impressive, including lead roles in IFC Film’s FINISHING THE GAME, Paramount’s BETTER LUCK TOMORROW, Disney’s ANNAPOLIS, and Touchstone’s CORKY ROMANO. Roger also co-wrote, co-produced, and adventure-hosted the surprise, Sundance comedic hit, THE QUEST FOR LENGTH. Most recently, Roger wrapped production on Judd Apatow’s DRILLBIT TAYLOR and Academy Award Winner, Jessica Yu’s PING PONG PLAYA (2007 Toronto International Film Festival). Roger’s progressive work in film has endeared him as a role model to many of America’s youth. He dedicates his free time spreading the message of self-empowerment and hope as a motivational speaker, inspiring nearly 100,000 young adults, in person, over the past 5 years. Roger has been honored with the “PACE-SETTER Award”, the “Multicultural Prisim Award”, an AXA nomination, and, most recently, the “Distinguished Moviemaker Mentor Award” by The Creative Coalition, alongside actors Joe Pantoliano, Lea Thompson, & Ione Skye. Roger has been spotlighted in numerous publications, including Premier & Vibe Magazine, and guest hosted on MTV Chi and the International Channel. He currently lives in Los Angeles.

“…young actor, Roger Fan, is excellent in Justin Lin’s ‘Better Luck Tomorrow’.”

--J. Lowe, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Fan is so funny he can make you spit…a comic genius.”

“…Fan is aptly slick as the manipulative Daric.”
--Duane Byrge, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“…the star of the film, one Roger Fan, has to be the bravest actor in history.”
