The Betrayal Film Screening and Meet and Greet with Director / Atlanta Asian Film Festival
Posted on 23 September 2009
This was a message sent to me via email from Boon thought I would share this with everyone/anyone who is interested. I haven’t checked Boon’s website, but I believe he might have more info there. Nye Noona had also blogged about this movie as well.
I have plans on this day so I wont be able to go, pity on me, but I hope to get my hands on this movie sometime soon! I would love to watch it, so if anyone has any idea how I can get my hands on this movie, please direct me to the right place.

Hi Everyone, I'm sending this invitation out to anyone that might be interested. Please forward to your friends! In October is the Atlanta Asian Film Festival (Ga Asian Times). One of the films showing is "Nerakhoon: The Betrayal" co-directed and edited by our friend Thavisouk Prasavath. (The film is a 20 year collaboration between him and Ellen Kuras ASC (Cinematographer: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, He Got Game, Be Kind Rewind, and much much more.)) If you recall "The Betrayal" is a documentary film about Lao immigrant struggles that was Oscar nominated in this year's Academy Awards. We, the Lao Community and LAS, will be hosting Thavisouk on the weekend of the event and his film will be showing at Perimeter on Saturday, October 10th at 3pm. I haven't locked down the time yet, but either before the showing or after, we will be hosting an informal Q/A session and also hear about his thoughts about the film world and independent filmmaking. I hope to also transition into some fun acting/screen tests using Nikon D90's and its great 24p movie mode. Just wanted to give a heads up and get a gauge of the number of people that would want be interesting in joining us.
