Interview with Michelle Krusiec, Writer and Performer of "Made in Taiwan": The one-woman show is a hilarious, audacious, profane, and ultimately moving autobiographical piece centering on Krusiec’s contentious relationship with her mother. by Christopher Bourne

Reviews:
Andy & Debb: With Andy & Debb, a woman is not necessarily going to find a show-stopping red carpet number, but a safe, comfortable and classic piece for a day in the office or a cocktail party.
eryn brinié: Mounting snowfall did little to steer away fashionistas from the presentation, which included dozens of versatile neutral pieces equally suitable for business and leisure.
Tony Cohen: The designer featured his usual trademarks of dark colors and draping. Thankfully, another of his trademarks is that he designs clothes that women will very much want to wear.

FILM
"Mamachas del Ring":
Screening at the New York International Latino Festival and the 92nd Street Y, this documentary on Bolivian cholita (indigenous women) wrestler Carmen Rosa starts off strong, but it begins to lack depth as it progresses as it tries to piece together several plotlines. by Pei Chien

FILM
2010 New York Asian Film Festival & Japan Cuts
coverage by Christopher Bourne and Yuan-Kwan Chan
It's here...the co-presentation of the greatest film festivals in New York City. Our reviews follow:
"About Her Brother": The film begins as a light depiction of a cringe-inducing relative and ends as a moving testament to the fact that blood is thicker than water.
"Dear Doctor": Miwa Nishikawa’s tale of a country doctor who is not all he appears to be, is invested with the director’s typical psychological acuity and emotional resonance.
"Golden Slumber": Yoshihiro Nakamura felt the need to shove all of the novel’s incidents into his film. This is a real shame, because all the ingredients are here: a bewildered protagonist on the run; a cast of colorful characters; and an elaborate plot concocted by a mysterious shadow government.
"Sweet Little Lies": Directed by Hitoshi Yazaki, the film is a calculated observation of an unraveling marriage, its sometimes imperfect narrative a mirror image of the imperfect relationship it portrays.
"Symbol": Two weird story strands eventually come together in a way that is wonderfully unpredictable and unexpectedly philosophical, and implicate a much larger canvas than what is covered.
