EVENT: Vietnamese-first Mockumentary Screening "Hot Bread Shop" 7th May, 2011

"Hot Bread Shop" was screened to an intimate community crowd at "The Shed" in the quiet suburbs of Carramar. I was quite surprised at the cultural diversity that attended this event through word-of-mouth that a film made in this area was being screened.

I am rest assured that there were bellyful of laughs caused when the character of "Kim Cuc" introduces the camera crew to her "best in town" local hot bread store.


"This is just the beginning! An unforgettable night!" - Quan Tran


"BTW! My mom loved Hot Bread Shop! It was her favourite, I think a lot of people in the community can relate to this. Awesome job - take the Vietnamese community by storm!" - Thuy Ng


"Great screening tonight! Congrats on the mock. Success!" - Marie Setiawan


"My whole family is watching the DVD ~ LOL" - Ok Chop


I want to send my special thanks to Community First Step (CFS) for their in-kind venue and technical support as well as the cast, crew and audience for being part of the event.

UPDATES: This short film has been officially selected for the 2011 Colourfest Film Festival that will be touring in Australia in June/July.

"Hot Bread Shop" will be online by July.
