Koji is a graduate from the University of Southern California’s Masters of Professional Writing program and has taught screenwriting classes for Asian American Poetry & Writers and currently teaches for Visual Communications and Pasadena City College Extensions. He wrote and produced THE PEOPLE I’VE SLEPT WITH (2009), a feature romantic comedy directed by Quentin Lee and staring Karin Anna Cheung. It is such a funny film we had to take the time to talk about it as well as the release of his new work, CHINK premiering at the Los Angeles Asian American Film Festival May 2013. Directed by Stanley Yung the film CHINK is about an Asian American man who has internalized the racism he felt as a child and turned it into a hatred of all Asians — including himself. His anger and his desire to be like his hero (Ted Bundy) leads him to violence and ultimately to his dream of becoming the greatest serial killer in history.
The film stars Jason Tobin (Better Luck Tomorrow and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift), Eugenia Yuan (Memoirs of a Geisha), Rane Jameson (The People I’ve Slept With), Shoshana Bush (Dance Flick), Kenzie Dalton, and Tzi Ma (Rush Hour).
The Los Angeles Asian American Film Festival runs May 2-12, 2013. For complete information and to purchase tickets visit their website: Submit a Comment
