PREMIERE

MAY 2008 and "THE SENSEI" will be have its official Premiere at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival, at the Writers Guild of America on Sunset. It's a reunion, and an event. We make our way down the red carpet, (Mark throws himself into the fray at the last minute, producing the finest of the cast shots) we pose and answer questions for press, pose with the celebrity guests, and make our way in. There is an overflow audience and people, 150 we are told, are turned away. At her introduction Diana says "I hope none of them were my family". The screening produces laughter and tears, and not a few gasps in the violent scenes. There is cheering as the credits role and an ovation as Diana makes her way to the podium when the lights go up. WHAT A RIDE!!
VIP lounge is packed afterwards and after the press interviews there is celebrating for all.
