No Trouble

Directed By Jonathan Chan

USA | Narrative | 17 min

East Coast Premiere

Sammo, a cook on parole, keeps his head down at a hole-in-the-wall Chinese-American restaurant, where ridicule and meager pay are part of the routine. When he witnesses a brutal hate crime against an elderly man, fear silences him, until the violence finds its way back to the restaurant. As the threats close in, the line between vengeance and justice begins to blur. To defend his community, Sammo resurrects a part of himself he had hoped was gone for good.
