San Diego Asian Film Festival 2008

In recent years, films adapted from comic books have dominated the global box offices - from gigantic blockbuster summer movies such as THE DARK KNIGHT, 300 and IRON MAN to critically-acclaimed films such OLDBOY, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and ROAD TO PERDITION. Due to the strong representation of Asian Americans within the comic book industry, this trend will surely have an effect on the Asian American arts community.

Join acclaimed artist Jim Lee (“X-Men”, “Batman: Hush”) and writer/filmmaker Greg Pak (“Planet Hulk”, ROBOT STORIES – SDAFF ’03) for a lively discussion on the comic book creation process and the adaptation of comics for the big screen from an Asian American perspective. Martin Wong (co-editor of Giant Robot magazine) will moderate this panel.
