  • PING PONG PLAYA in theaters Friday, Sept 5!!!

    Wednesday, Sep 3, 2008 3:11PM / Members only

    EVERYBODY!!! CHECK IT: the new comedy from Oscar winner Jessica Yu - PING PONG PLAYA  opens September 5th in SAN FRANCISCO, SAN  JOSE, BERKELEY, LOS ANGELES, GLENDALE, ALHAMBRA, IRVINE and NEW YORK.  On September 12, the film opens in SEATTLE and HOUSTON!  Please spread the word and send email blasts!

    It's an exciting time--but here's where we need you. We'll let the movie speak for itself (if the reactions of people who have seen the movie is any indication, we firmly believe you won't be disappointed), but we need your help to spread the word about the release of the movie. 

    Independent movies don't have the marketing budget to compete against the mammoth studio movies, but what we do have is intense, strong word-of-mouth (just check out any of a number of our reviews--from outlets large and small, from critics, bloggers, and chat room posters alike). 

    We are encouraging groups of people to buy out blocks of seats on our first opening weekend in each of these cities.  Bring your friends, your family and your neighbors.  The film is for all ages. In San Francisco - on Saturday, September 6 - we have some groups of people buying out seats and in Los Angeles there will be groups coming to the Mann Chinese 6 and Alhambra.  We could use more people buying out seats on all of the other cities and every theater.  Our website: www.pingpongplaya.com 

    And if you know of any friends w/ websites or blogs that want to support the film by putting up our banner ads, please download here:


    Please help us continue to spread the word and come check out the movie opening weekend (Sept 5--LA/SF/NY; Sept 12--Seattle/Houston).

    HERE ARE THE LIST OF THEATERS - PLEASE CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS FOR TIMES AND TO BUY TICKETS.  SOME THEATERS WILL OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR GROUP SALES - PLEASE CHECK WITH THEM.

    Hello to all my peoples out there!!!

    In case you haven't heard--starting September 5th, PING PONG PLAYA is coming to a theater near you!!! Starting out in LA/SF/NY, we're going to be rolling out in limited release--tell all your friends about it! Come and check it out--not just 'cause you want to support Asian-American cinema, but 'cause it's a damn funny film. Yes, admittedly, I am a bit biased, but if you don't believe me, just check out a small sampling of reviews:

    Shout out to all the folks in NY, where Jessica and I just got back from closing out the Asian-Am International Film Festival. It was an AWESOME experience, from the audience response to the folks at ACV who made everything fun and easy to Shake Shack for their amazing burgers!

I've actually got TWO films playing there:

    Looking forward to the new movie Ping Pong Playa. It’s about a guy who wants to be a basketball star, but ends up teaching his mother’s ping pong classes after she gets into an accident. Jimmy Tsai looks hilarious as C-Dub! It opens in theaters September 5th. You can find a trailer for Ping Pong Playa here:
