In this week's Saturday School, we revisit the 2015 film Seoul Searching, which follows a group of teenagers sent by their parents to a government-sponsored summer camp in Korea for them to reconnect with their roots. However, according to the film's prologue, this real-life program in the 1980s (which director Benson Lee himself attended as a young man) was canceled after a few years cause the kids were too much to handle. Seoul Searching is a nod to John Hughes movies, with the Korean American characters all embodying a certain stereotype -- whether it's the punk-rock Sid Vicious wannabe, the Madonna vixen, the Korean Mexican lover, the uptight Korean German, the Korean American adoptee -- before the film really dives into deep-seeded cultural struggles that exist behind the teen angst. In that sense, the characters in Seoul Searching, including the authority figures, carry much more weight than is allowed in the world of a typical John Hughes movie (incidentally a fictional world where the only notable Asian American character is Long Duk Dong). So go back and watch it, cause it's on Netflix, and it's fun. 80s music. Soju. Fiery romances. Stud muffins. Teary-eyed reunions. Makes us Taiwanese Americans look forward to Valerie Soe's upcoming documentary on The Love Boat, the Taiwanese American equivalent of teenagers getting sent to the homeland for cultural learning with sometimes scandalous results.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, we welcome back writer/director/producer SHERI SUSSMAN who delivers some exciting news about her deliciously dark comedy short, ONE NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD. Joining her this time is one of the stars of ONE NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD, IAN BUCHANAN. You know and loved him in "General Hospital" as Duke Lavery, but in ONE NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD, you get to see a more "decadent" side of Ian's acting ability. Take a listen as Ian steals the show with his Scottish charm and humor talking about ONE NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD, and giving us some "General Hospital" tidbits and food for thought. But before we get to Sheri and Ian, writer/director Benson Lee is talking about his new film, the frothy and fun, SEOUL SEARCHING. Think "Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles" and a little bit of "Ferris Bueller" but with a "seoul searching" Korean spin. Filmmakers will appreciate hearing what Benson has to say about music licensing and developing the film soundtrack. Plus, hear more of film critic debbie elias' exclusive interview with FINDING DORY producer Lindsey Collins, along with a few choice words from Ellen DeGeneres, Ed O'Neill and director Andrew Stanton. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
