'SEOUL SEARCHING' Movie Preview

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

FINALLY - the movie that's been 16 years in the making is ready to make its (early) preview to the world. "Seoul Searching" is an '80s teen comedy based on director Benson Lee's personal experience at a government summer camp in 1986 for Koreans around the world to learn about their heritage. It turned out to be one of the craziest summers of his life.

We're showing you this little snippet in the hopes that you like what you see here. The movie was shot in Korea this summer and is now in post-production. It's far from done, but if you would like to stay updated on our progress please join our online community in getting this movie finished and seen.

Is that a half black, half Korean actress?
This movie looks ridiculous and hilarious and I want to watch it NOW

I thought that lemon was an eye patch

That's Crystal Kay, a singer. Yeah, she's half black/half Korean, but born and raised in Japan.

Oh! That's her! I thought it was but I didn't know her name and wasn't sure.

I've been seeing stuff about this movie for a while and it looks pretty great from this little teaser.
I remember people uploading their auditions and all.
I think the girl in this who's dressing like Madonna was on the MTV show, Akward., as the head of the Asian Mafia. I'm gonna go check!

***I was right! She was. Her name is Jessika Van. Hmm, she's not Korean though...Well, I dunno, I can't find too much info on her.

she's pretty! I think she's taiwanese?? because on her fb, she put up a video of her at the taipei film festival speaking chinese.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

She is pretty! Yeah, she spoke a lot of Mandarin in Awkward.
It looks like she is Taiwanese! I've seen the guys she's kissing on (or who's kissing her, lol) in the trailer here and there as well–Justin Chon–who is Korean, haha.
