All About Dad

Running time: 90 mins

Old World? dad, meet your ?New World? kids.

Last year, Cinequest was extremely honored to present the first audience test screening of Mark Tran?s, All About Dad?a very exciting event that found the sold-out theatre audience laughing, crying, and ultimately cheering. For this year, we are thrilled to have Mark present the final film to audiences.

Mr. Do has raised his kids to be good Catholics and to live up to his unrealistic expectations. His son, Ty, is a college student who refuses to be the ?model minority? his father always wanted him to be. Daughter Linh is keeping her fiancé?s Buddhist beliefs a secret. However, they aren?t the only kids with secrets in the Do family, and with the need to take their own paths, its time Dad faces the truth that they have grown up.

Delightfully droll, yet mixed with great tenderness and humanism, All About Dad is the first (and probably the funniest) story to address in depth the universal lives of an ignored community?Vietnamese-Americans.
