It screened at the Asian American International Film Festival presented by MTV World, Asian American Filmlab and Asian Cinevision.

The theme for 2005 was “AKA”(open for interpretation) This film was produced under the budget of $1000 dollars using the Screen Actors Guild Experimental Film Agreement. This film was shot entirely in two locations in Astoria, NY. One was at the producers home and the other was at Freezepeach Cafe (www.freezepeach.org)  which the producers frequent. Tom Lee (Nick Sakai) goes out on an awkward blind date with Amanda Frost(Melissa Russo aka Melisanne Russo) Answers to questions by each other are interpreted as something else by the other.
