JANM, Giant Robot, and CHOPSO are proud to present the restored, high definition director’s cut of Sunsets, the 1997 Asian American New Wave indie classic and first feature by the team of Michael Aki and Eric Nakamura.

In this drama, Dave and Mark are two high school buddies living in Watsonville, California. Dave works in a comic book store, while Mark is preparing to go to college in the fall. When their friend Gary is released from jail, the three spend most of the summer drinking beer, chasing girls, and committing petty crimes. As the fall approaches, and with it the first stages of adulthood, the three realize the days are numbered for their friendship as they know it.

Aki and Nakamura will be present for a Q&A following the screening. This program is free, and RSVPs are recommended using the link below.
