Asian American Film Festival Presents White Frog


You may have heard the buzz about our opening night film (no one can keep a secret, anymore), so we’re here to officially tell you, BELIEVE THE HYPE!

We are thrilled to kick off the 30th 
San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF)  with none other than WHITE FROG, the highly-anticipated new film by celebrated director, Quentin Lee. Last summer, the online media sphere was spinning with the curious and enticing question, “Who is the White Frog?” Well, join us on opening night to find out!

WHITE FROG boasts a spellbinding cast of some of the most influential and recognizable Asian American talent today, including Booboo Stewart (you know, rock-hard abs from The Twilight Saga), Harry Shum, Jr. (the Asian dance machine from Glee), Kelly Hu (the bad-a sorceress from Scorpion King), B.D. Wong (Law and Order: SVU), and Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Mao’s Last Dancer). This much-buzzed about film is written by the mother/daughter team, Ellie and Fabienne Wen and executive produced by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly).

The screening will be followed by a star-studded Opening Night Gala Reception at the Asian Art Museum, attended by many of WHITE FROG’s cast and crew. The Gala promises to be a red-carpet affair and will feature delicious treats from some of the Bay Area’s most popular restaurants, including Bushi-Tei, Chotto, Dosa, Serpentine, and Yoshi’s.

This is one event you don’t want to miss!
