An indie trailblazer, WEDDING PALACE is the first Asian American romantic comedy and family movie to open in U.S. theaters. Produced with the support of the Los Angeles Koreatown business community, Korean corporations and the Korean government, the making of WEDDING PALACE is a grass roots story from the local streets to the screen. It makes history as the first ever US-Korea independent co-production shot in Los Angeles and Seoul, Korea. While many films compare themselves to hit movies, WEDDING PALACE can lay claim it was passed over for a "movie like yours, but it's Greek," which was My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

The film, starring Brian Tee, Kang Hye-jung, Bobby Lee, Margaret Cho is opening Friday, September 27th in New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii.
