Some CHINESE with ENGLISH subtitles. When 48-year-old widow Hwei-Lan Gao (JOAN CHEN) informs her less-than understanding father she's pregnant, he banishes her from Flushing until she remarries or proves Immaculate Conception. With nowhere else to go, Hwei-Lan moves in with her grown daughter, Wil (MICHELLE KRUSIEC), a Manhattan doctor who doesn't want a roommate, especially since she's met Viv (LYNN CHEN), her sexy young lover. So Wil does what any dutiful child with an expectant, unmarried mother on her hands would do: she proceeds to set Hwei-Lan up with every eligible bachelor in town.

Saving Face -- Matt Kern went from being an 'A' student to flunking out. While repeating the eighth grade, he was the MVP sports hero during the week and partier and car thief on the weekend. One night in March, 1988, his double life caught up with him. He and two friends decided to steal a car but in a moment's haste, one of the friends shot and killed the driver. All three received varying sentences; Matt got 60 years. At Florida's DeSoto Correctional Institute, Matt was the youngest inmate among 1,100 men. The dominant inmates in prison victimized most young males, but Matt refused to become a victim. He earned the respect of the other inmates through violence and threats. They nicknamed him 'Face.' Unbeknownst to his parents, Matt not only survived but thrived in prison. He made and sold wine and loansharked, among other things. With his profits he bank-rolled a gambling operation. At one point he was sending money home to his brother. His prison schemes continued until his sixth year of incarceration when striking another inmate with a pipe landed him in 13 months of Solitary Confinement. For the first time in his life, he experienced guilt. It was the beginning of a spiritual awakening and the providential way in which Matt received clemency. This compelling story reveals the details of how choices can ruin a life, what life is really like in prison, and how God still works in miraculous ways.

A second trailer for White on Rice. Director David Boyle ('Big Dreams Little Tokyo') returns with his sophomore effort, 'White on Rice,' the comedic story of Jimmy (Hiroshi Watanabe, 'Letters from Iwo Jima'), a misguided 40-year-old divorcee trying to navigate his way through a new life in America and out of his sister Aiko's (Japanese Academy Award winner Yuuki Nae) basement. Disgraced by his disgruntled brother-in-law Tak (Mio Takada, 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien'), the immature yet adorable Jimmy spends his nights in search of a new wife who shares his love of dinosaurs and geology. Things go horribly awry when Jimmy falls desperately in love with Tak's niece, the beautiful Ramona (Lynn Chen, 'Saving Face'), and vows to steal her away from his co-worker Tim ('Heroes'' James Kyson Lee). Meanwhile, Bob, Jimmy's newphew and bunkbed mate, harbors a secret talent that holds the key to rekindling the passion in his parents marriage. Hilarious and heartwarming, 'White on Rice' is a Japanese American comic treat for the whole family.

Saving Face follows Wilhemina, a young Chinese-American surgeon as she deals with her unwed mother's pregnancy, and the obligations of her dancer girlfriend Vivian. Wil struggles with allocating time between her mother, who is shunned by the Chinese-American community for being pregnant and unwed and thus has come to live with Wil, and her girlfriend, Vivian, whom she presents to her mother as only a friend. At the same time, Wil's mother must decide whether the demands of her father's reputations, or the demands of her own heart, are more important.
