Filmmaker Fay Ann Lee - Falling From Grace August 2, 2008

With a plot inspired by Lee's random encounters with John F. Kennedy, Jr. in the mid 1990's, Falling For Grace premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, and was an immediate sold out hit. The word of mouth was so good that the festival added an extra screening. But an icy reality hit home when studios failed to pick it up. Hollywood distributors did not believe that mainstream American audiences were ready for a romantic comedy that starred an Asian American protagonist. But Lee disagreed and her journey took a new turn - as Distributor. Instead of giving up hope, Lee embarked on an incredible, countrywide journey. Distributing the film all on her own, she has toured Falling for Grace in cities across America (and abroad).

Falling From Grace is playing a Fleur Cinema starting August 1.
