The New York Asian Cinema Film Festival (NYAFF) is SICK. It is truly one of my most favorite NY film festival experiences.

Their shorts program is amazing and their selection of features always surprises and pleases me in ways I wasn’t expecting. I may not love everything that I see at NYAFF but the fest certainly exposes me to different directors and methods of storytelling that inspire me.

…which is why I shocked myself by completely forgetting about it this year.

Luckily, my best friend The Barnes and I operate on the same film geek wavelength and she bought us tickets.

Tonight I am going to see 3 films with my BFF, including Tamami: The Baby’s Curse (read a review from the NYAFF blog here):

Reviews will follow.
