Get To Know MC HAMMER, DUSTIN NGUYEN, SUNG KANG, & ROGER FAN - behind every man is a sensitive boy!

Friday, Oct 19, 2007 12:00AM / Standard Entry

So Justin, Sung, Dustin & I just got into SF last night. After a nice hang out session with Chi Hui Yang at Asia Society, Justin, of course, directs us straight to Chinatown for some oily Chinese food. I must say that a Fiber One bar and oily Chinese food really do not mix. I will not elaborate on the gastro intestinal details of the human anatomy (unless, of course, you would like me to describe a 14 hour Kang/Fan fart binge).

Below are two fun videos of MC Hammer, Dustin Nguyen, Sung Kang, and some guy named Roger Fan. Behind every man, there was a smiling boy full of hope, joy, and love. Feel free to get to know the baby hammer, nguyen, kang, and fan and their crazy and twisted FINISHING THE GAME characters. Enjoy!

Get to know MC Hammer & Dustin Nguyen! The true inner boys behind these seriously manly men.

Hanging with MC HAMMER, Justin's Birthday, & San Diego! - Grassroots Day 16/17/18/19

Tuesday, Oct 16, 2007 4:24AM / Standard Entry

Ahhhh yes. MC HAMMER. One of the great, iconic figures of our lifetime. A man who's very dance moves inspired a nation. A man who's very fashion sense added 200% more fabric to men's pants. A man who's very name redefined the image of an everyday, household tool. A man who's very lyrics redefined what we could and could not touch. A man who's very inspiration instructed the masses that quitting would be a violation of one's legitimate nature. Oh yes, Hammer was in town and he joined the FTG posse at the San Diego AA Film Festival this past weekend. BTW, if you're wondering how Hammer fits into all of this, he once wired us a bunch of money and helped save BETTER LUCK TOMORROW from financial ruin. And, he also plays "A-List Colored People Agent", Roy Thunder, in FTG.

Chillin' with the HAMMER at the Airport Lounge in San Diego. To legit to quit.

Yes, our grassroots tour has gone west (but FTG is still playing in NYC). We're gearing up for our Oct 19th opening in San Francisco/Berkeley and our Oct 26th opening in Los Angeles & San Diego. We spent a few days in San Diego, hanging with Lee Ann Kim and the rest of the SDAFF posse. Dustin, Justin, and I spoke to 500+ students at San Diego State University on Friday. It was crazy! Who the heck would want to be indoors on a sunny Friday afternoon was beyond me. But the SDSU students came out in force. It was more Back Street Boys concert than AA speaking engagement. Thanks SDSU!!! You guys kick ass!

SDSU Madness!

Thursday was also Justin Lin's Birthday. And being the good friends that we are, the FTG family took Justin to an unforgettable birthday meal at Appleby's. Oh yes, the all you can eat brine shrimp and baby crayfish lobster tails were to die for! Now you must understand, Justin most generously pays for 99% of the meals whenever we are on the road and on tour. So, the entire FTG family thought it only appropriate that we take out JLin for his day of birth. $21.99 is a bargain for all you can eat seafood nowadays. We all chipped in to feed the man. The rest of us had an amazing one course meal of tap water in celebration. Happy birthday Justin. 18 comes only once. Embrace it!

Spit on cake is a wonderful combination. Especially when it's the salivary droplets of birthday boy, JLin.

JUSTIN LIN & ANG LEE Hang Out! Grassroots Day 13/14/15

Friday, Oct 12, 2007 2:49AM / Standard Entry

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.

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.
