YES, AUNTIE!: Asiancrush Acquires Hit Web Sequel From Art School Dropouts Now Available On Amazon Prime

Art School Dropouts’ martial arts comedy sequel webseries, Yes, Auntie!: My Asian Auntie Season 2, is now available on Amazon Prime as of May 21. The New Jersey-based independent film banner took to YouTube on Thursday to make the announcement of the feature film edition’s acquisition by New York-based Asiancrush as of late February/early March. The original My Asian Auntie, as it reads on their official YouTube channel, took off in 2016, and returned by popular demand as Yes, Auntie!: My Asian Auntie Season 2, with the participation of as many as five independent film banners from groups throughout the NY, Philidelphia and DC areas, including Team One Take and Kamen Ramen. The official trailer premired exclusively at the AMC Empire 25 last November as festivities went underway for the sixth-annual Urban Action Showcase & Expo in New York City. The team, comprised of members Joey Min, Stephanie Pham, Gun […]

YES, AUNTIE!: My Asian Auntie - Season Two

Back By Popular Demand, YES, AUNTIE! Is A Kung Fu Cinema Love Story If There Ever Was

Lee B. Golden III

The animated signature logo for the team at Art School Dropouts – or as filmmaker Joey Min calls it, the team’s kamon – is no stranger to the big screen among film festival regulars. Aside from this, it bodes considerably that the kamon now etches a milestone in Min’s progression, representing his New Jersey-based independent film banner since officiating his brand in 2016. Heeding fans who’ve pined for more of his hit webseries, My Asian Auntie, fans are cordially invited to take a gander at Min’s newest continuing oddity, My Asian Auntie: Season 2 – billed otherwise for his feature film debut henceforth as Yes, Auntie!. Several interesting footnotes here reside next to the homage it lends in its presentation, nodding to legendary producer Sammo Hung’s Corey Yuen-directed 1985 actioner, Yes Madam!. By resilient design, a once recalcitrant Hung eventually land a protégé in actor and aspiring stuntman, Robert Samuels, […]

HER HERO ACADEMIA: An Interview With Actress And Martial Artist Angela Jordan

Lee B. Golden III

Going forward, there will definitely be some significant changes in the atmosphere – albeit for the better. New partnerships and relationships will form and with that, new prospects to come in lieu of my own observations and coverage, and you can certainly tack on the name Angela Jordan to the list of folks adapting to the ever fluctuating atmosphere. It was precisely on March 21, 2016 when this super-talented New Jersey resident landed on my radar, and it’s been a thrill covering her ever since. Eventually taken under the wing of Joey Min and Stephanie Pham for a time at Art School Dropouts, Jordan’s burgeoning resumé in the independent online film scene has grown immensely with her proliferation as a desired favorite. The first of her next few appearances will be in the not-too-distant online premiere of the hotly-anticipated second episode of Power Rangers: Unworthy, from Deviant Children Productions and […]

Lee B. Golden III

Coverage continues this week with Art School Dropouts as they now work to proliferate their latest webseries, Yes, Auntie!, which is also setting up a feature edit premiere at the Museum Of The Moving Image next month. From what I’ve gathered, the ASDO members will be in attendance for a Q&A at the January 4 screening, including one Stephanie Pham who has been with the group for several years now. She’s become one of the most vastly prolific talents on both sides of the camera and from a background of intellect and versatility, and poise that I’ve come to admire in the last four years and having shaken her hand on at least two occasions. After sharing my first-ever interview with Joey Min, Ms. Pham is next on my roster as of Monday with our Q&A below. Enjoy, and don’t forget to visit the museum’s website, and be sure to […]
