The Yolk’s on You
Yolk Rebirth: Hollywood is a-buzz with this weekend’s Yolk Rebirth Party celebrating Yolk magazine’s “new look,” which includes a new logo and layout starting with the February 2001 issue featuring Kelly Hu on the cover. “We have opted for content that is more contemporary and urban. We believe our readers are wanting more images of beautiful Asian males and females and will present features in more appealing layouts with larger photos and double truck layouts,” says Stanley Lim, new president/managing director of Yolk magazine, joining partner (and founder) Tommy Tam, CEO/publisher. Lim brings to Yolk his 14 years of experience in Asian media promotions, marketing and operations with the Korea Times LA, KTAN-TV, and FM-Seoul. Yolk, with its 50,000 readership base throughout the United States and Hawaii, is published bi-monthly and readers can expect more features on Asian American talent in the fields of film, television, music, etc. in the months to come. “We hope to be the vehicle through which Asian talent will want to showcase their work and accomplishments to the Asian community. We hope to promote more awareness of Asian entertainment in the years to come,” states Lim. Look for Yolk at Fiesta Filipinas 2001 June 16-17 at the Civic Center Plaza, SF!
A Wacky Comedy: What do you do if you want to break into the movie producing world and don’t have any experience? Why, produce your film – and that’s exactly what two twin sisters have done. “In order for others to believe in you, first you must believe in yourself,” says Ada Tai. “Rock, Paper, Scissors is our first short and the story is based on our life,” laughs Arlene Tai. Rock, Paper, Scissors, a 13-minute film, is an offbeat comedy about siblings and their life-long “winner-takes-all” rivalry, which spins out of control when a third person is thrown into the equation. The film has been getting rave reviews and won the VCFilmFest 2000 Audience Award. Next on the movie festival circuit is the upcoming Seattle International Film Festival, May 24-June 17. |
