Variety calls Take Out "a deeply affecting portrayal of struggling immigrants in Gotham" and "beautiful in unexpected ways". This truly indie film represents all of the buzz and cutting-edge potential associated with today's extreme micro-budget independent guerilla filmmaking.
Filmmakers Shih-Ching Tsou and Sean Baker, who between them wrote, directed, produced, shot and edited the film, have been winning awards and receiving glowing reviews wherever the film has screened.
"Take Out" is the story of a young Chinese immigrant who rides silently through the dark rain soaked streets of Manhattan and comes face to face with countless apartment dwellers who simply see him as an anonymous and faceless delivery boy. Yet inside this quiet and nameless man burns an intense conflict from which there may be no escape.
A favorite on the film festival circuit, "Take Out" will be a Theatrical release that rocks the indie-world and a wonderful addition to the CAVU film library. "Take Out" represents the type of indie-product that CAVU has become so closely associated with.
The Filmmakers will be available for Q&A after select screenings at the QUAD Cinema beginning June 6th 2008 so check back often for additional info.
