We had a blast at the opening of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival last week. The closing night film (Love in Disguise from our friends at Cherry Sky) and gala is tonight so thought it’d be the perfect time to share some photos from the opening as we say good-bye to another fest.

I’ve broken up the photos into two parts below.

PART 1 is a sampling of the images from the festival’s official and unofficial photographers: Grace Chang, Kristian Dowling, Allan Figuracion Jr., Elaine Hu, Steven Lam and Ivan Perez (oh, and the shot above is from our own Danny Pudi of himself with his evening’s co-host Parvesh Cheena and some new friends).

PART 2 are pictures taken by the students from the Asian Youth Center, KW Lee Center for Leadership and La Puente High School. Our generous friends at Intertrend subsidized their tickets so they could attend and I’ve been told they had a great time. Before the screening, the students got to meet with my fellow Offender and Fast Five star Sung Kang along with hosts Parvesh (Outsourced) and Danny (Community) as well as Danny’s Community co-stars Gillian Jacobs and Yvette Nicole Brown and other celebs who took the time to not only pose for photos with the teens (many of them aspiring filmmakers), but talk with them too.

If anyone else was at opening night and want to share their own photos, feel free to leave a link to them in the comments section. But without further ado…
