Randall Park makes his directorial debut at Sundance with a story he's waited 15 years to tell.
It's the same thing that excited me when I first opened that graphic novel, which was that it felt like an authentic story. But it also felt like a story that seemed impossible to make, as a movie. And here we are 15 years later and it actually got made, and I actually got to direct it. It still feels different.
It was really about modernizing. I had been a regular at these Asian American film festivals and a supporter, and still am to this day. It felt like something that would actually happen. You take a movie, a hit movie that's going to be monumental for the community, and of course, a community film festival, it would be an honor to screen it.
