New Feature Film “PRETTY TO THINK SO”

Posted: Monday, October 22, 2007

Francis Hsueh & Steven Hahn’s “Pretty to Think So”


Please see note below from our friends Steve and Francis.  This is a
full length feature film that was recently completed in New York
featuring Asian Americans in all of the lead roles.  Francis was a
former active member of the AAFilmLab.  Also if you need a good
lawyer, consider these guys as well!


Dear Friends,

Where were you seven years ago, in the autumn of 2000?  In New York,
the club kids were at Twilo and young lawyers and bankers were dancing
to throw-back swing.  Greenspan warned of irrational exuberance but no
one was listening.  The dot-com boom was at fever pitch and we thought
it was going to last forever.


This is the time and place of our upcoming movie, “PRETTY TO THINK
SO”.  The second film by Francis Hsueh & Steven Hahn.  Executive
Producer, Michael Zee.


PRETTY TO THINK SO is a story about newfound love and the past which
haunts us.  From the corporate world of white-shoe law firms to the
streets of Chinatown and the Bronx, PRETTY TO THINK SO takes us on a
journey to a place where romantic passion and human frailty violently
collide.


We invite you to view the film’s website at http://www.prettytothinkso.com
where you will find more information about the film, stills, and a
trailer.  Please forward to friends who might be interested.
