Saigon Love Story

So my good friend Ringo Le is a filmmaker who is about to debut his first feature film. I wanted to share with you. Ringo is really cool, creative, and ready to make his mark in Hollywood.

Saigon Love Story
A visionary Vietnamese musical film that will take you on a journey into the heart of modern day Vietnam. The cast is comprised of Vietnam's most popular pop stars (Hua Vi Van, Ngo Thanh Van, Yen Vy, Duc Tien) and legendary actors from pre-war Vietnam (Nguyen ChanhTin, Kim Xuan, Thanh Hoai, Diem Kieu).

This uniquely original film is written and directed by Vietnamese American filmmaker, Ringo Le, combines two endearing forms of entertainment -- the musical and the melodrama!

If in L.A. over the weekend, the film will play at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theatre as part of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. And I'll be there to support my friend. It kinda sounds like a Moulin Rouge type film, which is one of my ALL TIME favorites.

Check out the website, send Ringo some love, and let's hope for more films from underrepresented communities to make it big in Hollywood.
