FIRE ISLAND – Review by Susan Kamyab

Fire Island is a romantic comedy that’s sure to put a smile on your face. While reading Pride and Prejudice during a trip to Fire Island, writer and star, Joel Kim Booster, had the brilliant idea to make a movie inspired by the Jane Austen classic set in present-day. Thank you, Joel for this gem.

DRIVEWAYS – Review by Marilyn Ferdinand

May 7, 2020May 9, 2020 Marilyn Ferdinand (Archived Contributor) 0 Comments andrew ahn, brian dennehy, hong Chau, Lucas Jaye, sideways

Three people, hardened to some degree by life’s challenges and disappointments, learn to trust in others, accept the regrets of life as it was, and find ways to move forward with faith and hope. There isn’t a hard bone in this poetic film’s body, and it is encouraging to see Asian Americans at the center of it.
