New York gives Cinematografo Original “Bitter Melon” a rousing welcome at the AAIFF 41st screening in Asia Society

The film festival circuit has been a triumphant path so far for “Bitter Melon”, the film by acclaimed director H.P. Mendoza which was chosen last year for funding and support by Cinematografo Originals.  Last Saturday, the dramedy was screened at Asia Society as part of the official closing presentation of the prestigious 41st Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF 41).  In spite of a very busy weekend in New York with ongoing summer festivals, the screening drew an enthusiastic multicultural audience that had an animated Q&A with Mendoza and the cast members.
