San Diego Asian Film Festival

To orchestrate the 2003 San Diego Asian Film Festival, Oct. 3-5, 2003, Taiwanese American Foundation of San Diego (TAFSD) and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Los Angeles are co-sponsoring one of the excellent films, "Love at 7-11”. The film director, Teng Yung-Shing and the producer, Wang Wei Ming will be able to attend the festival. TAFSD will be hosting a reception for Director Teng and Producer Wang on October 4th, 2003, Saturday, 2 PM, at the Taiwanese American Community Center (TACC). We will also present his work, “Love at 7-11”, led by a famous singer-songwriter Huang Pin-yuan. In addition, the independent filmmaker Sam Chen will join the reception to share his enthusiasm about making film. The admission is free.

Teng is a veteran director of commercials active in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. He has been famous for making celebrating commercials for over a decade, and he has kept burning the fire of his dream: to make full-length features. Love at 7-11 is his debut as a feature film director.

The film, “Love at 7-11”, is an adaptation of two very well known Internet novels by Tsai Chin-heng: Raincoat and Love at 7-11. These Internet novels were so popular that eventually they appeared in book form and topped the best sellers list for many months in Taiwan. Not long after that they also became runaway hits in Mainland China.
