White on Rice Premiere – Meet the cast and crew!
The world premiere of director Dave Boyle’s film White
on Rice will be hosted by Iyemon Cha Japanese Green Tea at this year’s San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival.
Boyle’s second feature, White on Rice is a comedy about a Japanese immigrant family coming to terms with romance, parenting and middle age as they adjust to American culture.
