Los Angeles, CA –<\/strong> Vision Films Inc.<\/strong> (\u201cVision\u201d) announces the VOD and DVD release of the raucous genre mash-up Made in Chinatown <\/em><\/a>from Executive Producer and Writer Mark V. Wiley and Directors Robert J. Samuels and James Lew<\/strong>. The feature-length film will be available on streaming and cable platforms and DVD on May 11<\/strong>.<\/em> The Chinatown-meets-Little-Italy comedy sensitively handles, with more commentary than spoof, the timely Asian immigrant experience, as well as racial stereotyping and labelling. With some of the most recognizable actors known for portraying mafiosos, and the talents of veritable Hong Kong Kung-Fu masters, protagonist Vinny Chow (portrayed by Jay Kwon) finds himself unwittingly caught up in two love stories \u2013 his Chinese culture and the Italian culture he emulates based on The Godfather<\/em> and Goodfellas,<\/em> and his fantasy [Italian] dream date and the perfect [Chinese] girl next door. The fast-paced romp features several real Kung-Fu Masters (Lo Meng, Chiu Chi Ling, Tak Wah Eng, Perer Ngai, Steven Chan, Paul Sun), is choreographed by Emmy Award\u00ae winner James Lew,\u00a0and a treasure trove of hidden mob movie references and quotes to delight cinephiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/strong> It\u2019s Goodfellas<\/em> meets Ip Man<\/em> when a young Chinese nobody sets out to become a \u201cmade guy\u201d in the Italian Mafia. Tensions are already high between the two communities as they move into each other\u2019s turf with a dirty crime commissioner playing both sides. It turns out that earning respect, finding love, and discovering his identity doesn\u2019t come so easy. He\u2019ll have to fight his way to the top.<\/span><\/p>\n
