APA Film is proud to announce that CHILDREN OF INVENTION will be the Closing Night Film for the 10th Annual DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival. This Official Selection at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival has won several Grand Jury awards across the U.S. and will make its Washington, D.C. premier on October 10th, closing the festival. Director and Writer Tze Chun’s previous short film Windowbreaker was an official selection at the 2007 DC APA Film Festival.
This feaure narrative has been heralded for its moving portrayal of an American family caught in the economic crisis of our time, through the eyes of two clever children who find a way to cope when their mother goes missing.
