Washington, San Diego & Vancouver want "Desi 2"

Washington's DC APA and Vancouver Asian film festivals join San Diego Asian in selecting I Want To Be A Desi 2 to screen in the autumn. This short documentary continues its hitting streak on the Asian film fest circuit, starting with the mid-July world premiere at New York's Asian American International Film Festival. Exact screening dates will soon be announced but the film's "tour" schedule looks something like this:

Editor Ngardy Conteh has just outputted a fresh master that will in turn be transferred to BetaSP tape that the festivals will play.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another November screening perhaps, in of all places, Toronto.

Meanwhile, I'm busy prepping to shoot I Want To Be A Desi, the short comedy that inspired this "pre-sequel." Stay tuned...
