Seattle Asian American Film Festival

After a six year break the Seattle Asian American Film Festival returned this year to the Wing Luke Museum. Life on Four Strings was screened for the first time in Seattle to a sold out audience. Since many people were not able to purchase tickets in time we hope to screen bring the film to Seattle again soon. The screening was co-sponsored by the Seattle Ukulele Players Association (SUPA).


The SAAFF poster featuring Life on Four Strings was spotted in many local businesses in the International District.


Thanks to everyone who came out to the screening!

PBS Press Tour

The Television Critics Association holds their national press tour twice a year for networks and cable companies to present their shows for the upcoming season. Reporters from all over the country gather in Pasadena, CA to preview films and listen to panels. Life on Four Strings had the honor of being featured during the PBS showcase at this year’s Winter Press Tour.


I got to get fancy for the press!

Jake continued to talk with reporters in the lobby after the panel was finished.


The day was capped off with a great meal at Arroyo Chop House, which was capped off with this souffle.
