Audrey got Angry

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 showto 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!
