Attempting to tread the fine line between dutiful daughter and independent woman, Kim has an unfortunate one-night stand with Daniel (Will Yun Lee), the spoiled and arrogant son of a wealthy family, and discovers that she is pregnant. Forced to marry Daniel and trapped in a nightmare marriage with a newborn infant, Kim leaves her daughter Genie to be raised by her mother. 19 years later…Genie (Kristy Wu) is a bright and independent 19 year-old on the cusp of adulthood in the 1990’s, who walks successfully in two separate worlds; that of her grandmother’s traditional community in Queens and the contrasting and vibrant downtown hip hop scene in New York City. When she falls in love with Michael (Treach), an African American DJ at a local club, and her mother Kim resurfaces from Hong Kong with plans to move back to New York, these three women are forced to resolve their betrayals and family history in order to survive. Set in Queens in both the ‘70s and the ‘90s, FACE is the coming of age story of two women caught between the conflicting cultures of their traditional heritage and the surrounding influence of urban life. Acclaimed international actress Bai Ling, hip-hop artist and actor Treach (Naughty By Nature), and newcomer Kristy Wu star in the independent drama, “Face.” The film is directed by Bertha Bay-Sa Pan, from a screenplay by Pan and Oren Moverman (JESUS’ SON). |
