Screening at La Jolla Country Day School

On May 22, we held a screening at Adam’s high school, La Jolla Country Day School. It was great to meet up with former classmates, teachers, and family friends. All in all, about 200 people were present for the documentary, which was shown in the Four Flowers Theater. Back when Adam was a student at LJCDS, the Four Flowers Theater did not exist! The school has undergone quite a transformation since his graduation in the early 90s.

Here are some photos from the Country Day Screening.

May Screenings in San Diego

We’ll be screening Autumn Gem at Adam’s high school in San Diego:

May 22 at La Jolla Country Day School

There will be a reception around 6:00 pm prior to the screening at 7:00 pm. There will be a limit on the number of outside guests that can attend, so if you are interested in attending, please email Adam or Rae at info (at) autumn-gem.com.

We will also be screening the film at the D7 Conference in Carlsbad the following week, but that will be a private event that is not open to the public.

Screening at COBA

For the past several years, I’ve been running a camera user group called COBA, or Camera Owners of the Bay Area. We meet every month to talk about the latest developments in the digital camera space and feature presentations from photography-related companies and photographers. For the April meeting, we screened AUTUMN GEM to the COBA crowd at SmugMug headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Many COBA members have known that Rae and I have been working on AUTUMN GEM for the past year and a half. It was great to finally be able to share the documentary with them! We’re currently arranging more public screenings around the Bay Area and at universities and Asian-American/Chinese Historical organizations across the country. Soon, we’ll have a section of the site devoted to finding the next screening. Stay tuned!

Here are some photos from our screening at COBA.

Cast and Crew Screening Party Photos

Here are some photos by Timothy Chang from the cast and crew screening party held over the weekend. Thanks to the Domain Hotel in Sunnyvale for hosting and everyone who were able to take time out of their Sundays to come out! It’s now onward and upward with marketing and business development for the film.
