This is a fun group for film lovers, film makers, actors, artists and supporters of the Asian American community to meet new people and enjoy/discuss films, actors and film makers. Each month we will try to select a film or a show featuring Asian American Actor(s), a documentary about Asian Americans or a film by an Asian American film maker and discuss our thoughts afterward about the film over a beverage at the local watering hole.
This group is sponsored by The Foundation for Asian American Independent Media (FAAIM).
