L.A. Day 03 – Opening Night Celebration

Our first day at the L.A. Asian Pacific Film Festival was off to a great start. We picked up the 3rd Muna brother, Associate Producer Michael Muna, and were off to the Director’s Guild of America in West Hollywood for the filmmaker check-ins, interviews with Giant Robot’s Eric Nakamura, photos at the press wall, meeting up with festival director Abraham Ferrer and Andersen Le as well as other filmmakers.

We were surprised to discover how many people have heard of Shiro’s Head and Guam. We spent most of the night getting the word out to the crowd and spreading the word about Guam, the movie and the talented local artists.

So far, so good – a more descriptive, detailed account will come later. But for now…
