Notes From the Suburbs

Two stories from the suburbs start and end with a kind of randomness, both good and bad. Let’s begin with the school shooting in Santee, California. It’s made me realize the most dangerous place to be these days isn’t the inner city; it’s the suburbs.

We Are Watching —

The Asian American Film Festival

It’s nearly spring, and for the next two weeks San Francisco will be buzzing with filmmakers, videographers, artists, musicians, producers, distributors and movie-lovers as NAATA’s 19th annual International Asian American Film Festival unrolls its red carpets around the Bay Area. Those behind the scenes at NAATA have said that the festival is always equal parts film showcase and equal parts community event. Among the networking and schmoozing that is sure to go on, the festival also reinforces the strengths of our community by celebrating our endless stories and complexities.
