An American in China
Sponsored by Hickman, Palermo, Truong & Becker and SLO Graphics
Friday, March 14 — 2:00pm Palm Theatre
This coming of age, fish out of water story takes us on a fascinating journey to a world of exotic customs and people both different and the same.
Twenty-two year old David Braddock (James Snyder) is floundering - stuck in that lazy period between college and “what am I going to do with the rest of my life?” David’s parents pressure him to either choose a career path or join the family business and challenge him to go to China to deal with their manufacturer. Once in China, he finds that it is much different from what he imagined: full of bustling modern cities as well as charming little villages. He travels to a small town and meets Mei (Fei Fei Sun): a beautiful, ambitious young girl who works two jobs in order to save enough money to follow her dream of going to the prestigious Beijing University. Despite their differences, a romance blossoms during the few short weeks that David is with Mei. He returns home to San Francisco to find that his family’s business is in even more difficulty than when he left. His best friend encourages David to return to China and see things though: both business and romance, and together they head back to the middle kingdom. Director Ron Barrett and Producer Maggie Yuan will be in attendance. Romantic comedy/drama. USA/China. 1 hr 35 m. Screens with Spin.
