Hi /r/movies, I’m Eric Lin. I’m the director of ROSEMEAD, which stars Lucy Liu. It is out in select theaters starting Friday 1/9. Previously I was the cinematographer on films such as HEARTS BEAT LOUD, THE SOUND OF SILENCE, and RUDDERLESS. Ask me anything!

Hi Reddit. I'm Eric Lin. I directed ROSEMEAD, which stars Lucy Liu, Lawrence Shou, Orion Lee, Jennifer Lim, Madison Hu, and James Chen. It opens nationwide and in Canada this weekend 1/9.

ROSEMEAD is the first feature I've directed though I've shot many films as a cinematographer. Some of those films include HEARTS BEAT LOUD, THE SOUND OF SILENCE, I SMILE BACK, EQUITY, and THE EXPLODING GIRL.

ROSEMEAD's synopsis:

Inspired by the harrowing true story, Lucy Liu transforms in a riveting, career-redefining performance as an ailing woman who takes drastic measures to protect her troubled teenage son (Lawrence Shou). As his dark obsessions grow and time runs out, she is forced to make impossible choices: how far will she go and what is she willing to sacrifice? Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community, ROSEMEAD is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge.

Watch the trailer here:

It's a story about the desperate need for connection and it's a film that was meant to be seen and shared with other people. Please check it out in theaters this weekend.

I'll be back on Tuesday 1/13 at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to chat.

Ask me anything! Talk to you all on Tuesday.
