The 38th Asian American International Film Festival, with support from SAG-AFTRA, is pleased to announce that Tim Drain\u2019s screenplay EAST OF WESTERN has been selected for a reading at the 2015 Asian American International Screenplay Competition. The screenplay is a story of Alex, a criminal enforcer in LA\u2019s Korea Town neighborhood. As a Hispanic outsider within the Korean mob, he\u2019s earned his keep through service to the mob boss, Hong. Starting as a young child who fetched his cigarettes, Alex grew into a man Hong trusts with his most important criminal tasks. Growing up alongside him are Hong\u2019s two children: Jihyeok, the bright but soft-natured son; and Su-bin the rebellious older sister. After a sudden stroke puts Hong into a coma, Alex must defend his boss\u2019 position and this surrogate family from dangerous challengers to the throne.<\/p>\n
