++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Emmy Award-winner Kern Konwiser and co-director David

Ren’s inspired romantic comedy SHANGHAI KISS delves

into territory left unexplored by LOST IN

TRANSLATION—namely, that of an Asian American’s

cultural shock and confusion at being thrust into

21st-century Shanghai, a city whose language he

doesn’t speak, but a place where he feels uniquely at

home nonetheless.

 

Ken Leung plays Liam Liu, a likeable, struggling L.A.

actor who inadvertently finds himself as the object of

affection for a pretty Beverly Hills teen (Hayden

Panettiere, NBC’s HEROES). Their relationship is

innocent; he drives her to school every morning, and

enjoys her company, but doesn’t feel fully himself

around her. When Liam inherits his grandmother’s home

in Shanghai, his visit to China and introduction to

Micky (Kelly Hu)—a woman who captures his imagination

like no other—force him to reconsider his Chinese

roots. Caught between two worlds (and two women), Liam

must now sort out the complicated desires of his

heart, and find out who he really is.

 

Skewering Hollywood’s casting process from the opening

scene, the film smartly refigures the romantic comedy

genre with Asian American leads. Shanghai has never

been as luminous as it is through cinematographer Alex

Buono’s lens. After a string of supporting roles in

major Hollywood films (including SAW, X3 and a

scene-stealing turn as the karaoke salesman in KEEPING

THE FAITH), actor Ken Leung comes into his own as

Liam, a young man learning to be comfortable in his

Asian American skin.
