In 1992 Jon Moritsugu received a production grant from CAAM (then know as the National Asian American Telecommunications Association) for his film MOD FUCK EXPLOSION. Jon is coming out with a new film, PIG DEATH MACHINE. We’ll be on the look out for that one.

Chi-hui Yang (former SFIAAFF Festival Director) included TERMINAL USA in Cinema Asian America’s July programming.
