Albert M. Chan (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Law & Order SVU) and Heidi Rhodes star in this charming story about isolation, connection, and chance. Two strangers, a guitarist (Chan) and an introspective young woman (Rhodes), cross paths at a city park bench. One by one, additional strangers join the pair on the bench - a distressed woman in a foot cast, an insecure jogger, a famished pregnant woman, an insecure businessman, a curious child with an ice cream cone, two quarrelsome women, and a dignified collector of soda cans. Amidst a whirlwind of interactions that lead to both harmony and discord, the guitarist and the young woman eventually discover they have something special in common. [ MORE ]

Told from a Chinese cultural perspective, the film explores the sacrifices immigrant families make and the extraordinary bond that ties all generations of a family together - living, deceased, and yet to come. The production team includes award-winning writer/director Albert M. Chan, Emmy-nominated cinematographer Cira Felina Bolla, and music composer Ryan Leach (The Dark Knight, Bee Movie, Cold Case).

Since its founding in 1983, the Puffin Foundation has sought to open the doors of artistic expression by providing grants to artists and art organizations who are often excluded from mainstream opportunities due to their race, gender, or social philosophy.
