Asian American movie "Saving Face" opens in Boston on June 3

Dear Members of the Asian and Asian-American
community:

"Saving Face" is an Asian-American feature film starring Joan Chen
that is opening starting Memorial Day weekend in NY/LA, and depending
how it does there, in other cities afterwards.

Will Smith is one of the producers and it is being distributed by Sony Pictures Classics. How well this film does on opening weekends helps
the studio decide what other cities to open in and how long it will
stay in theaters. It also affects the future of how Hollywood will
promote and support Asian American films in the future.

Saving Face is a romantic comedy about a daughter struggling to
understand her mother's heart, which ultimately allows her to
understand her own. It is a story of unspoken loves, contemporary and
cultural taboos, and the journey of two women towards living their
lives honestly.

Because "Saving Face" is an indie film, it has a small budget for
marketing and will do well strictly on word-of-mouth. Please post
this for your readers, forward to your mailing lists, organize a
viewing party, tell your friends in NY and LA, or just come out
opening weekend in your city!
