Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Rare late-'90s indie featuring predominantly Asian-American cast without making ethnicity the central plot.

Memorable

Shot on digital video with a $250,000 budget, it became a festival circuit darling before digital filmmaking went mainstream.
