You guys, film projection is in absolute shambles. What can we do about it??

Lucy Liu To Receive Locarno Career Award & Present ‘Rosemead’ On Piazza Grande Lucy Liu To Receive Career Award & Present ‘Rosemead’ At Locarno

Thought I'd only get 1 chance to screen at Locarno's 8K-seat Piazza Grande, so I'm excited to be back for the int'l premiere of Rosemead! Lucy Liu will be getting the Career Achievement Award! Variety calls her performance in our film "revelatory" & "career-redefining"! deadline.com/2025/06/lucy...

‘Rosemead’ Review: Lucy Liu Plays a Desperate Mother in a Harrowing Portrait of the Asian American Mental Health Crisis In Rosemead, Eric Lin crafts a modest and heartbreaking story of domestic isolation and mental health in the Asian American community. The film, which premieres at Tribeca, stars Lucy Liu as Irene, an intrepid Chinese mother battling a terminal illness while navigating the painful realities of her son’s worsening schizophrenia. Joe (a fine Lawrence Shou) was once a star student and celebrated swimmer at Rosemead High School, but his father’s death triggered the young man’s latent psychological problems and he’s been struggling ever since.

‘Rosemead’ Review: Lucy Liu Plays a Desperate Mother in a Harrowing Portrait of the Asian American Mental Health Crisis

Me and some conspirators on Rosemead. Lucy Liu, producer and star, Will Bates composer and the man Eric Lin, director!

Queens native Lucy Liu talks about new film, love for the city "Rosemead" explores the desperate measures a terminally ill mother, portrayed by Liu, takes to protect her mentally ill son.

Lucy Liu and ROSEMEAD, made in #NYC! We will see you at Tribeca for the world premiere tomorrow! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-...

Come chat with the all-Chinese American lead creative team of ROSEMEAD on 6/8! RSVP asianpacificfilmexperience.org. Besides our film, only 2 others have had an Asian American writer, director, lead producer & lead actor! 🤯 There are only a few tix left for 6/12, so grab them before we sell out!

Our publicist drafted this point: “The Asian American experience is not often depicted in feature films, but ROSEMEAD is even more of an exception since its lead creative team—wri, dir, lead prod, lead actor—is comprised entirely of AAs.” Could only find 2 films w/signif releases that ✅ this box 😮

My 1st feature is turning 20 🤯! Grateful Andrew Bujalski's MUTUAL APPRECIATION launched my #producing career. Made w/a crew of 6, the seminal #indiefilm is a time capsule #Brooklyn in the early aughts. Watch the film (35mm print!) Sat 6/14 @metrograph & stay for Q&A! metrograph.com/film/?vista_...

Swap out "female founder" for "female director or producer" and it is the exact same. 😡

Hoping none of this will actually happen because it just seems so unfathomable. But Cannes next week is gonna be a bloodbath.

Anyone who thinks that post-production is not stressful has never really done post-production. #producing

There’s a Feeling We’re Not in Hollywood Anymore (Gift Article) Movies and TV productions are rapidly leaving California to film outside the United States, where labor costs are lower and tax incentives greater. Industry workers are exasperated.

The harsh truth.😔“It is [a producer’s] job to make the best possible work w/in his budget, whether that means filming elsewhere in the US or int'ly.'You’re going to want to go to a place that allows you the most days to shoot w/the most money for yr...creative depts’” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/m...

Ryan Coogler and His Proximity Banner Are Playing the Long Game After establishing itself with projects like ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’, Proximity Media takes its biggest swing to date on ‘Sinners’, producing the original supernatural period film in record time...

Huge congrats to the Cooglers & Sev Ohanian for getting Warners to finance their wholly original $90M "indie" film #Sinners, which hit #1 at the box office this weekend! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Many moons ago, I was producing a script in which #KatyPerry (playing herself) is launched into space. She passed on it, unfortunately. And she went into real space before going into fake space. #producing (Script is still available and still awesome, btw.) #BlueOrigin

Rosemead | 2025 Tribeca Festival | Tribeca Based on a true story, Rosemead follows Irene, a Chinese immigrant mother driven to desperate measures by her unstable son’s escalating mental health crisis and growing obsession with mass shootings.

We're premiering ROSEMEAD in US Narrative Competition at #Tribeca2025l! Can't wait for u to see Lucy Liu's transformative performance in Eric Lin's feature directorial debut! Thx to our investors for supporting this truly undertold #AAPI story,even among AAPI stories! tribecafilm.com/films/roseme...

We went from, "Let's fund underrepresented, marginalized voices" to "Let's fund the richest, prettiest, most famous voices."

No desire or no talent? When they "produce," they don't even do the job!

So many actor-turned-producers/directors. I think I'll do the producer-turned-actor thing so I can keep #producing. The "creator" mentality has invaded film, indeed.

Thoughts from Cleveland By Rebecca Green

Film festival peeps, please treat producers kindly. I have similar horror stories to Rebecca's here. It feels especially shitty when the producers actually originate the project! www.dearproducer.com/p/thoughts-f...

Universal basic income. Now. #GenX #Millennials #GenZ

Btw another cxl'd yt guy said this,which made me want to 🤮. There are many smart ppl still in the industry just trying to catch a break! "Hollywood needs Scott Rudin...You can’t just fire all the smart ppl in an industry & expect great things to happen. And I am sure he will be more polite than b4"💩

Scott Rudin Says Most of the Allegations Against Him Were ‘True’: I ‘Own’ My ‘Bad Behavior’ Scott Rudin apologized for his 'bad behavior' as a producer.

The films he had to drop off of turned out just fine without him, and studios would do well to start trusting less prolific (and less abusive!) producers. I'm happy for the producers who got to flourish outside of his shadow. www.indiewire.com/news/general...

But what he says here is true: "I think one of the good things that happened with me being out for a few years is that it created room for other people, which I think is a great thing and a really healthy thing"...

I came up admiring Scott Rudin's work, but obviously not his behavior. When he was canceled, there was a bit of a feeding frenzy around his MANY projects b/c he hoarded so many good ones. I went after 2 of them myself (1 ended up with a bigger producer, the other died in development, I think)...
