More and more people are hearing about our little film. We were excited that CCN Sunrise, a morning news show in Pasadena, interviewed Larissa Lam recently about the film and her suicide prevention campaign. Asian American magazine, Inheritance, also did a wonderful feature interview with Larissa Lam and Baldwin Chiu in their October issue about the American Dream and Finding Cleveland fit perfectly into that theme.
You can find those new interviews posted on our Media page.
It was another packed house at the Finding Cleveland Experience hosted by the South Pasadena Library and co-sponsored by the South Pasadena Chinese American Club and Friends of the Library.
