CHICAGO, IL -- Brown Soup Thing fans in Chicago will have their chance to witness the movie's world premiere as well as interact with actress Cheryl Noe and writer/director Edward J. Mallillin.
The highly anticipated feature film Brown Soup Thing makes its world premiere at the Chicago Filipino American Film Festival on Saturday, November 8th in the historic Portage Theater at 8:30 PM.
Fans can learn more about Brown Soup Thing and the festival by visiting www.Malinius.com and www.cfaff.org.
Brown Soup Thing is a comedy-drama about a comfortably disconnected Filipino American family that can't smile in front of the camera. In order to raise her unacceptable A- average, 10 year-old Lita must submit a video project about what it means to be a Filipino in America. Her upcoming birthday provides the perfect setting to unite everyone: parents who can't relate to their kids, immigrant sister Fely, the always-guilty over-achiever brother Jude, hip-hop sister Maria, an array of cousins, her grandmother who just wants to cook, and favorite sister Shana, who moved out of the country to get away from everyone.
"Brown Soup Thing is a movie that the Filipino American community is eager to see, so it's perfect that our world premiere will be take place at the Chicago Filipino American Film Festival," said writer-director Edward J. Mallillin. "Our fans will be out in full force in Chicago. Everyone in the Brown Soup family is excited and honored to be part of this wonderful event."
Brown Soup Thing features 2-dozen special appearances by some of the most recognizable Asians and Asian Americans in the world. Among them: World Boxing Champion Manny Pacquiao, internet star Christine “HappySlip” Gambito, Filipino stars Raymond Bagatsing, and Bernardo Bernardo; singers Becca Godinez and Anthony Castelo; and popular Asian-American comedians Paul “PK” Kim and KT Tatara.
