in New York City.

Fixer," starring Wai Ching Ho and Cindy Cheung, in

ROBOT STORIES is award-winning Asian
American writer/director Greg Pak's first feature
film. æThe self-distributed indie hit opened to rave
reviews and box office success in New York City earlier
this month. Starring Asian American acting powerhouses
Tamlyn Tomita ("The Joy Luck Club," "Picture Bride")
and Sab Shimono ("The Big Hit", "Suture"), as well
as film festival favorite Wai Ching Ho, the debut
performance of director Greg Pak, "Robot Stories"
is science fiction from the heart, four stories in
which utterly human characters struggle to connect
in a world of robot babies, robot toys, android office
workers, and digital immortality.

When a young monk, only a boy, is found
gleefully tying stones to a fish, a frog, and a snake,
his master binds a rock to the child's back and instructs
him to set each animal free. The master warns that
if any creature has died, the boy will carry that
stone in his heart forever. Thus commences a journey
that will pass through four stages in accordance with
the seasons of the monk's life: from love and temptation
as a teenager to a terrible misstep and a crime, through
his subsequent search for peace of heart, and ultimately
to maturity, whereupon he assumes the role of master
himself. - John Nein
