OUR TRIBUTE TO OUR AVID SUPPORTER GEORGE...
On 10/19/09, the San Diego Asian Film Festival hosted a special tribute to SDAFF Associate Festival Director George Lin, who passed away last year from cancer. The festival staff asked us to join other filmmakers in creating a short video that honored George and his taste for "bad movies". The video tribute theme: "You know you're watching a bad movie when..."

A.J. Calomay and myself came up with this short piece called "Electronic Letters From George". To understand this video is to understand the kind of support George gave us as filmmakers. George was an avid supporter of our work and always programmed our music videos into the film festival, one of which won us our first ever award. He even convinced us to create the "YOUR POWER" PSA spots not too long before he passed away. I'll even admit that a small reason I jumped back into making our current crop of music videos was because of George's love for the medium.

Thank you, George and thank YOU!
