ROSEMEAD, starring @lucyliu and @lawrenceshou , is now streaming on Hulu.

Lucy Liu on her latest film, ROSEMEAD. Streaming everywhere now. A few months ago we got the chance to screen the film and chat with Lucy about the significance of the project for Asian American families, those navigating mental illness, and beyond. Inspired by a harrowing true story, Lucy Liu portrays an ailing woman who takes drastic measures to protect her troubled teenage son. Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community, ROSEMEAD is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge. Written and directed by Eric Lin, a SFFILM Rainin Grantee.

“The look of ‘Rosemead’ is grounded and intimate, but also expressive in its subjectivity,” says visionary #cinematographer Lyle Vincent (@lylevincent ) about his work on @rosemeadfilm . “Our main visual references were Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Mother’ in the depiction of the main character, ‘Black Swan’ in its subjective camera and lensing, ‘Clean Shaven’ in depiction of schizophrenia, and the still photography of Jessica Chou – specifically her work in the San Gabriel valley’s Chinese community. The actual locations in Rosemead CA and the motel where the tragic events transpired did serve as inspiration as we wanted to capture a dreamlike frozen in subjective memory of a certain place. I find the #ESeries to be very well balanced within #Panavision 's #anamorphic offerings. Firstly we felt anamorphic would suit the story in that the format captures faces in CU in a very intimate and beautiful way, which draws you into the frame. Also, because this movie is so much about the performance, we wanted a lens that draws you in but doesn’t call attention to itself. The E series seem to have the just right amount of character and expressiveness but without going over the top. The distortion, the curves, focus fall off and flares are very well controlled, but not taken out completely, and still holds a classic anamorphic feel. Even from a young age I had a love of movies and their ability to transport the viewer to other worlds or ages. I found a love of making movies – and specifically photographing movies – at NYU Tisch Graduate Film Program where I actually met Eric Lin (@holdtheframe ), the director of #Rosemead. What keeps me inspired today is the potential of transposing a story written in a script into the reality of an emotional experience across a large screen.” See 'Rosemead' in theaters now! 🎥

The legend herself, Lucy Liu, joins us for our 45th episode of United by Rice. Also featured in this episode is Eric Lin, the director of her new film “Rosemead.” in this discussion, we breakdown the terrific and important film, “Rosemead”, and the challenges of adapting it from its original source content. “Rosemead” is based on a true story of an Asian mother grappling with raising a son with a serious mental illness. Asian societies are well known to not discuss mental health openly, often leaving individuals and families on their own to deal with their challenges. We are so happy for Lucy and Eric and all of the attention this film is receiving. You can also go back one episode and listen to our previous discussion with writer Marilyn Fu. Please take a watch or listen on YouTube, iHeartRadio, or Spotify and other places where podcasts are heard. Links in our bio. #lucyliu #aapi #films #podcasts #unitedbyrice #rosemead #mentalhealth
