All Amateur Ecstasy
USA | 2:00 | 2001 | Comedy | Greg Pak
Three women are about to experience the most earth-shattering climaxes of their lives. Satisfaction is only a tissue away in this award-winning short.

Life is on hold for Tokio, a heartbroken night-shift photo lab worker, who becomes obsessed with the photographs of a beautiful customer.
The Offering

A meditative story of a Japanese monk who befriends and falls in love with his young apprentice.
Asian Pride Porn
USA | 3:00 | 1999 | Comedy | Greg Pak
A hilarious infomercial spoof in which Tony award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang hawks progressive pornography featuring smart Asian women and sexually empowered Asian men. Good politics equal great porn. A festival favorite!
Dick Ho: Asian Male Porn Star
USA | 32:00 | 2005 | Documentary | Jeffrey Lei
This fascinating and titillating documentary explores an Asian male porn legend named Dick Ho who supposedly existed during the 1970s-'80s golden era of porn. Dick Ho was so well endowed that a white porn industry conspiracy kept him from becoming a superstar. Through vintage clips and interviews with porn legends Annie Sprinkle, Kay Parker, Juliet Anderson, Mika Tan, and Sharon Mitchell, the film takes a UFO and Bigfoot approach to reclaiming the Asian male libido.

Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts

USA | 86:00 | 2005 | Drama/Narrative | Richard Cranor
(Parental Advisory: Adult Situations, Language)
Simply FOBulous is a romantic Comedy about Thuy Nguyen, a rebellious daughter who succumbs to her mother's dying wish for her to marry a Vietnamese mail-order husband. But when Dung, the mail-order husband, arrives, she is determined not to follow through with the arrangement. As hilarity ensues, Dung finds himself being looked down upon as a FOB, "Fresh-Off-the-Boat," in the midst of a family being driven apart even as they struggle to hold onto their past. Through his example Dung shows the family where they've gone astray and that being a FOB, far from shameful, can be simply FOBulous.
