"Asian Persuasion" is the outlandish story of a down-on-his-luck chef, Mickey de Los Santos (Dante Basco), who cooks up a crazy scheme to marry off his ex-wife, Avery Chua (KC Concepcion). To avoid his substantial alimony obligations, he sets her up with a fake internet dating profile and coaches the prospective suitors. With the help of his trusted wingman, Mickey gets off to a hot start—until he realizes he wants a second chance with Avery. But he might just be too late.
Winner of an Audience Award at the Soho International Film Festival, Jhett Tolentino’s feature debut is both a laugh-out-loud comedy and a celebration of New York’s famous landmarks and lesser-known neighborhoods alike.
(Dir.: Jhett Tolentino, United States, 2023, 93 min., DCP)
