Yesterday, we launched the new Journey From The Fall website. Check it out over at www.vuotsong.com or www.journeyfromthefall.com (no surprise here). Please don’t give me credit for the design, the folks over at ImaginAsian designed this—I only coded the HTML/ASP.NET for this website over my Christmas vacation (and boy do I hate the fact that different web browsers render completely valid XHTML differently). I am excited to see the progress that has been made with the movie promotion. We are going to release the new trailer on this website tomorrow as well, so are you guys eggcited as I am??! The movie is going to be released in March 2007 in about ten US cities, and I can’t wait to see it (for the fifth time) in the theaters. As a boat person who left Vietnam at the age of one, this movie means a lot to me—this is the untold story of Vietnam that the world has to see. It’s my story. It’s the story of so many other Vietnamese Americans, and I am anxious to see mainstream America’s reaction to this movie that has been long overdue.
If you want to get involved in promoting the movie, please send an email to info@iatv.tv. I am hoping to see a lot of VSA support. Spread the word, let other people know about this movie. I'll post the date/locations of the ten screenings once it's finalized, but I hope to see sold-out shows, because this will then pave our path into releasing the movie in all theaters across the United States and the world.
