Director Statement

"When I was asked to direct 'The Lees of Los Angeles' I jumped at the opportunity. I was excited about the concept and was looking forward to working on a project about the Asian American experience that I had not seen represented on screen before.

With this dream cast and relatable story line, 'The Lees of Los Angeles' will hopefully take another step toward normalizing Asians as a part of the fabric of the United States, bringing humor to universal issues of generation gaps, family values and finding one’s identity."
