Sin Lee is a Korean American teenager who gets robbed while working alone at his dad’s grocery store. Already feeling pressure to prove the worth of his general existence, he is unable to face his father about the loss. His buddies rally together and scheme to recover the money before sunrise.

“…the experience of watching Chris Chan Lee’s YELLOW is akin to seeing American Graffiti for the first time… Exceedingly well-drawn and likable young people. YELLOW packs a terrific punch…a knock-out feature.”

- Los Angeles Times

“A different kind of culture shock…the film is fascinating in the way it manages to be both about Korean American society and about young Gen X’er’s who could be of any race.”

- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
