Colin Hearts Kay film at San Diego Asian Film Festival
Emmy-winning director Sebastian Ho Conley makes his feature debut with this story about a Brooklyn (specifically Park Slope) cartoonist Colin Jensen who has just broken up with his girlfriend Kay, a successful host of the food blog “Kay’s Kitchen.” Colin illustrates (quite literally) a journey to recall what went awry in their 3-year relationship. Colin’s drawings are whimsical and light and turn into animated backgrounds while mixing with the live action characters.
Shot entirely in Brooklyn (by Sebastian’s brother Benjamin) and with a soundtrack that includes up and coming Brooklyn bands, COLIN HEARTS KAY is as much a love letter to New York’s hippest borough as a love story that reflects today’s times.
Colin Hearts Kay won the Jury Award for Feature Length Narrative at the New York United Film Festival this weekend. Congrats cast & crew, & thanks to everyone who made it out to NY, Philly, & San Diego!
