San Diego Asian Film Festival 2010

West Coast Premiere

2010 Brooklyn International 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.

Anyone who has been in a long-term relationship will relate to Colin and Kay’s trials and tribulations. While Colin is full of imaginative energy and fantasies of their future together, Kay seeks stability and a partner she can bring home to mom and dad. Their relationship is one all too often seen and depicted, but Conley has added cultural issues to the story as Kay has been raised in a traditional Chinese family where love equals duty and sacrifice.

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. Shot on a shoestring budget, the Conley Brothers’ collaboration is full of laughs as well as heart. – Mye Hoang
