JUSTIN LIN & ANG LEE Hang Out! Grassroots Day 13/14/15
2007-10-12 2:49AM / 標準BLOG
WOW! What an amazing opening weekend in NYC! Thanks so much for everyone who turned out for our NYC Opening Weekend. And for those of you New Yorkers who have not caught FTG yet, it's still playing right now at IFC Center Theater in the West Village. Catch it today or this upcoming weekend!
Justin Lin with Ang Lee at the Director's Guild of America
After an amazing opening weekend, the FTG posse packed up and headed back home to Los Angeles (if only for a short, short while). We'll miss you Hell's Kitchen! Though day 13, 14, & 15 of our Grassroots will be spent in our home town, it does not mean that the grassroots party is over. It's more of a laundry stop before we head to SD, SF, Hawaii, Vancouver, & Toronto. But that's later... Once I got home and took a quick shower, I got a phone call from Justin. All he said was, "He, so I'm headed over to the Director's Guild of America to hang out with Ang Lee, wanna come?" My response..."Hell yeah dawg! Gots to go hang with da man who made the HULK and dat gay cowboy movie!"
So I met up with Sal, Julie, Sung, & Justin at the Director's Guild of America to hang out with Ang. He was doing a special screening of his new film "Lust, Caution" for a small group of friends and associates. I must say, it was very cool to have the BLT/FTG camp hanging with the HULK/BROKEBACK posse. Though we are very different in many ways, it was amazing to find out how similar we all are in terms of our creative vision of the future. Ang's a great guy...very quite and soft spoken...but very wise...kinda like an Asian Yoda. I thought "Lust, Caution" was an amazing film...though I think all the sex press really misrepresents the film. It's more espionage/noir than naked asian humpy humpy flick. After the film, Justin did a Q&A session with Ang. Definitely a very cool site to see. 2 awesome filmmakers just hanging on stage talking about life, film, and dreams. 2 filmmakers, 2 dreamers, 2 dudes...Both Asian American. Pretty fuckin cool. Tomorrow we trip down to San Diego for the Opening Night of the San Diego Asian American Film Festival!!! Crusing down with Dustin & Sung...should be interesting...
Ang & Justin have the same wardrobe stylist. They were both a study in Gap.

FINISHING THE GAME Crew in front of the IFC CENTER THEATER!
OCTOBER 5th is Finally Here! Much like a birth of a child (not that I would know), today is the First Day our movie Squirts out Into Theaters! Lucky for us, our Theatrical Release started in NEW YORK CITY. It was CRAZY! After 12 days of our grassroots tour, it was awesome to see so many students and organizations that we met on our travels hanging in line for FTG! The front of the IFC Center Theater was a MAD HOUSE. And the amazing thing was that ALL OF OUR EVENING SHOWS WERE SOLD OUT! Thank you Cindy & Chung & B of A & Accenture for buying out a screening. We also want to shout out to Princeton, Columbia, NYU, BU, Hunter, Georgetown, Rutgers and all the other schools that came to Represent Friday night! The whole FTG gang will be at the theaters tonight, Saturday, just to hang out, do some Q&A, and chill. So swing on down to IFC Center. We'll be there!
The front of the Theater was a MAD HOUSE!
This is just one of the lines for FTG on Friday night. Crazy!
Elena & Jeremy. They drove 13 hours from Cincinnati, Ohio to attend our Opening Night! Amazing! : )
These were the first 4 people to see FINISHING THE GAME at the 11 am, Friday screening! They were sooo surprised to see Sung there to thank them for coming.
Come join us tonight, Saturday, Oct 6th at IFC Center. The FTG crew will all be there!

Day 10 of our Grassroots trip must be dedicated to our boy Calvin Sun & Columbia University. Man, Calvin & Co...you guys brought it! Thanks so much for such an amazing turnout and reception. Being on the road for almost 2 weeks, it was great to get to spend time with and hang out with such an amazing group of students. Thank you Calvin & Columbia U for welcoming us in such huge numbers and with such warmth! See you all at IFC Center!
That's COLUMBIA's very own Calvin Sun on the bottom right doing the asian squat. The Man!

Standing room only @ NYU! Thanks Phoebe Lee!!!
Day 11 - NYU! Not to be outdone, NYU followed suit big time! We met Justin at the Kimmel Center at NYU (he just flew back to NY from LA). We were greeted by the Amazing Phoebe Lee. Now Phoebe brought us in the back door so we had no idea who was coming to see us speak. When Phoebe introduced us, we were greeted by about 400 cheering NYU students. The room capacity was 250 so there were a lot of students standing. It was amazing! The energy and turnout really blew us away! Thanks Phoebe and the NYU posse...we had an such a great time meeting you all!
Why we threw the international sign of FOB we will never know...
