Children of Invention wins Special Jury Award

CHILDREN OF INVENTION just won a Special Jury Award at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival.

Two young children living illegally in a model apartment outside Boston are left to fend for themselves when their hardworking mother disappears. Based on Tze Chun's own award-winning short film, "Windowbreaker," which screened at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, "Children of Invention" is a drama about the influence of an adult world on children, the immigrant mentality, and shortcuts to the American dream. Watch an interview with filmmaker Tze Chun.
