The buzz 'round La La Land is that a particular indie film has been courting the persnickety affections of many a critic.
Quentin Lee's
The People I've Slept With is not only a critically-acclaimed rom-com romp of the edgy variety, but it also engages a heavily Asian-American cast (
Karin Anna Cheung,
Archie Kao,
Randall Park,
Lynn Chen, and
James Shigeta, amongst more). And, jeepers, that's always a bombshell, considering Hollywood's nascent relationship with Asian American presence in its cinematic commodities.

We patroned the screening at the ritzy
Lammele Sunset 5 this Saturday evening prior, which was supplemented by a post-viewing discussion panel with the cast and crew, thought-provokingly moderated by the notorious
Angry Asian Man, Phil Yu.

Obligatory celebratory shenanigans blossomed thereafter at contemporary speakeasy
Libertine on Sunset, where premier Asian-American women's mag,
Audrey, hosted a cosmopolitan afterparty in due honor of the racy featurette.

So, I shall confess, the primary reason for our face time was due to a dear
friend who also espouses the role of a fabulously inspired editor at
Audrey.


But, of course, there was also the heartwarming smattering of
amiable chummies with whom to chitter chatter,



and an engrossing one-man show

to which I reacted with multifarious extremities of emotion.

Ode to a bevy of snazzy folks with whom to commemorate a flick. And lovely life in the bigger picture.

Which is all conducive to a niftily packaged night. And it only got oodles better 'cause several of these snapshots got featured on
Audrey here!
