The Slanted Screen: Asian Men in American Cinema
USA 2006 60 Minutes Documentary
A film written, directed and produced by Jeff Adachi

"Highest recommendation hellip the Slanted Screen hits all
its marks." --- SF Chronicle

"This is compelling social reality." --- Asian Week

"Well-researched study of how Asian American men have
been stereotyped."

--- SF Bay Guardian

The Silent Screen explores the portrayals of Asian men
in American cinema, chronicling the experiences of
actors who have had to struggle against ethnic
stereotyping and limiting roles. The film presents a
critical examination of Hollywood's image-making
machine, through a fascinating parade of 50 film clips
spanning a century. Winner of the Best Short
Documentary award at the NY International Independent
Film & Video film festival, the Slanted Screen "brings
into focus the most dangerous aspect of prejudice."
