Jefferson Park is a low-income section of Los Angeles less than 10 miles from Beverly Hills, but it might as well be a million miles away.

When her parents announce their divorce, Kayla meets a 19-year-old drug dealer, who is kind and understanding but at what price? Stars Helen Slater and Academy Award winner Chris Tashima who will be here!

Lil Tokyo Reporter where you at? I would love to see a trailer for your film. Please post..please.

Comment by Martin Anaya on April 6, 2013 at 6:25am: Great News! The wait is over. Tickets are on sale!! Tell a friend!

Comment by Chris Tashima on April 12, 2013 at 9:32pm: As folks may be aware, I have roles in both films in the Cine-Asia Program: I star in "Lil Tokyo Reporter" and have a supporting role in "Model Minority." Did you also know, both films feature the amazing work of production designer Niko Vilaivongs? Two totally different worlds, in two different eras, in two different genres. Just thought I'd mention.

See you soon
