  • Making Waves
    LA TIMES – MOVIES Making waves Wave Releasing UNIVERSAL MESSAGE: Gauger’s “Owl and the Sparrow,” a love story set in modern-day Vietnam, features Le The Lu, Pham Thi Han and Cat Ly. Wave Releasing, a start-up of Vietnamese American filmmakers, aims to find a wider outlet for their out-of-the-mainstream voices. By My-Thuan Tran January 18, 2009 Writer-director Stephane Gauger had high hopes for his debut feature, "Owl and the Sparrow," shot on the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City. The Vietnamese-language film, about an orphan who plays matchmaker to a lonely zookeeper and a flight attendant, blazed through the 2007 film festival circuit, snagging awards and accolades in the Hollywood Reporter and Variety. Winning the Crystal Heart Award at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis was a watershed for the filmmakers, signifying that their subtitled film reached beyond the confines of Vietnamese enclaves like Orange County's Little Saigon. "It was huge when it won an award in a festival that represents Middle America," said executive producer Timothy Bui. "That told us that this film can succeed in the mainstream market, not just for Vietnamese audiences." But finding a company to distribute the film to American theaters was another matter. Gauger and Bui wanted to market the film to both Vietnamese and mainstream audiences but had a difficult time finding a distributor who knew how to tap into Vietnamese communities. "We had a few meetings, and we kept hearing, 'We love the movie, but we don't know how to market it,' " Bui said.
