COWBOY VS SAMURAI by Michael Golamco
Directed by Oscar Seung

A laugh-out-loud, romantic comedy exploring the sexual dynamics that surface around race when an attractive Korean American woman moves to town. Travis Park is a high school English teacher and the only Korean American living in a dusty cowboy town known as Breakneck. Wyoming. When a gorgeous, whip-smart Asian American woman moves into town, he immediately falls for her; the only problem is she only dates white men. In this strangely funny and often moving retelling of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano De Bergerac, one man must choose allegiance between his cowboy friend ( a dim, handsome, Caucasian P.E. teacher named Del) and his Asian Brother with a capital-B (crazed, militant Asian of unkno0wn origin, Chester) He must choose between the Asian American and the American within himself- between Cowboy Vs Samurai – in pursuit of a love that may only be as real as the love letters he writes for someone else.
