Described as a cross between Working Girl and The Wedding Banquet, Falling for Grace features first-time writer/director/lead actress Fay Ann Lee, Gale Harold (Queer As Folk, Desperate Housewives), Christine Baranski (Mamma Mia!), Ken Leung (LOST), Roger Rees (Frida), and comedians Lewis Black and Margaret Cho.

Grace Tang is an ambitious Wall Street banker from New York's Chinatown, who aspires to join the elite social circles of the Upper East Side. But at her first high-end soiree, she is mistaken as an heiress from Hong Kong - and introduced to the city's most eligible bachelor. Their meeting sets Grace on a whirlwind ride of romance and white lies, revealing the greed and pressures of Wall Street and the human side of Chinatown. Through humor, love, heartbreak, and forgiveness, Grace ultimately learns to accept herself for who she is.

I love the idea behind this film. The cast, especially, David Barrera, give excellent performances. This movie is worth a look.

CRUZANDO - Arizona Premiere @ Tucson Film & Music Festival
We’re so excited to be part of the 5th Annual Tucson Film & Music Festival this weekend. Tucson is the home of our amazing composer Hank “Enrique” C. Feldman. Hank was instrumental (pun intended!) in helping Those Guys & That Girl Films from the very beginning of our film-making journey. He’s been a wonderful collaborator. In fact, Writer-Directors Mando Alvarado and Michael Ray Escamilla came to Tucson to work with Hank and the talented musicians that he assembled during post-production on CRUZANDO.

Music is such an important element to the story of CRUZANDO. It just wouldn’t be the same without our score. So…many thanks to Hank and his team and a big shout out to Tucson!

Come out and see us on Sunday night – 7:00 PM at Crossroads 6 Cinema (4811 E. Grant Rd.). Hank Feldman and Executive Producer Rene Garza will be at the screening!
