“Coming of age story, crime drama, sprinkle of hip-hopera, and a dash of horror” all come together in The Chinatown Diner. Sounds like a fine recipe for a compelling independent film, which is co-written, co-edited, and directed by Lawrence Le Lam. He’s assembled quite a snazzy cast for the film, including Alien: Romulus standout, Aileen Wu, and one of the powerhouse actors from Warrior, Olivia Cheng.
Here’s The Chinatown Diner trailer:
No release date yet, but we look forward to seeing The Chinatown Diner in 2025. A festival run in the months ahead is the plan for the film, which looks like a audibly and visually electric portrait of Vancouver, Canada. Cinematographer Leonardo Harim‘s work especially looks strong here.
