Add Synopsis
Made In China is a comedy with heart that elevates indie film-making from the improv laden depths of mumble-core to new heights. I saw the film in Austin, TX and it was a true crowd pleaser. I promise you'll walk out of the theater with a big smile on your face. The screening I attended had Richard Linklater and Catherine Hardwicke in the audience which was cool. A great introduction to first time writer/director Judi Krant and a breakout performance from newcomer Jackson Kuehn, who is basically in every frame of the film. Jackson reminded me of the naive Ed Norton in Fight Club. Via Q&A so don't quote me on this, but the film was shot on location in Shanghai, China guerrilla style with a Panasonic P2 camera. It looked amazing! The film won the grand jury award at SXSW and Judi picked up the Egg & Chicken Emergent Female Award. Bravo to the everyone involved in this little indie gem. job well done!
